Help needed implementing LoadFromXML for a DockControl in WPF

I am working with a WPF DockControl element.  I have a DockControl with multiple DockItems in it and called SaveToXml and it created an XML file, as expected.  When I call the LoadFromXml, nothing appears to happen.  I have read that I may need to override the load somehow and recreate the dockitems.  In the end, I need the user of the control to be able to manipulate the DockItems to their desired configuration, and then load that back up the next time they use the control.  I have included the XML file that the Save created.

Try handling the ItemLoading event. The DockControl sample project from WPF Pack distribution handles that to implement the "Load Layout" menu.

Ok, that now works, thank you. 

Is there a way to load the DockControl from an XML string that is read in from a database rather than from an external file?

try this -

Code
Select All
var xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
xmlDoc.LoadXml(xmlString);
dock.LoadFromXml(xmlDoc);
