Hide 'x' (close) on docked window tab

Thanks for the reply, Dess. I need to hide the 'x' on only one particular DocumentWindow (not all of them). Is there a way to do that?

Thanks, that worked !

Hi.  I tried a similar thing using the code below and it works to hide the close button, but I also noticed that it causes an exception if you switch between tabs.   Is there something I'm missing?   The code below runs in my form_load method.  

for (int i = 0; i <= 2; i++)
 {
        item = radDocumentTabStrip_history.TabStripElement.Items[i] as TabStripItem;
        item.ShowCloseButton = false;
 }

From the error message, it looks like a tab is being disposed of and then isn't there when it needs to be re-opened.  Any ideas what can be causing this?

This is not working for me.

// Disable close button in dock windows

CaseViewV2Dock.ShowDocumentCloseButton = false;

CaseViewV2Dock.ShowToolCloseButton = false;

I've tried various option in the UI too.See attachments

Hello, Ronald,   

Note that the ShowDocumentCloseButton property controls the visibility of the close button displayed in each tab:

Each document windows has it own buttons configuration. So you can disable the close button for all document windows using the code snippet below: 

            foreach (DockWindow item in this.radDock1.DockWindows)
            {
                if (item is DocumentWindow)
                {
                    item.DocumentButtons = DocumentStripButtons.ActiveWindowList;
                }
            }

I hope this information helps.
