I have a Telerik.WinControls.UI.Docking.ToolWindow added to RadDock. I want to use the pin/unpin feature and not the docking feature. I want to disable the contextmenu and not allow user to move around the ToolWindow as well. How do I acheive it?

Hello, Kiba,

RadDock offers the DockStateChanging event which allows you to cancel the new state if it is not allowed according to your requirements. 
        private void radDock1_DockStateChanging(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.Docking.DockStateChangingEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.NewDockState!= Telerik.WinControls.UI.Docking.DockState.AutoHide && e.NewDockState!= Telerik.WinControls.UI.Docking.DockState.Docked)
            {
                e.Cancel = true;
            }
        }

Thus, the end users will be allowed to pin/unpin the ToolWindows, but they wouldn't be allowed to float the document. 

I hope this information helps. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me.
