Namespace: EnvDTE80
Assembly: EnvDTE80 (in EnvDTE80.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Property Linkable As Boolean

bool Linkable { get; set; }

property bool Linkable {
    bool get ();
    void set (bool value);
}

abstract Linkable : bool with get, set

function get Linkable () : boolean
function set Linkable (value : boolean)

Property Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if the window can be docked with other windows; otherwise, false.

Implements

Window.Linkable

Remarks

Linkable is meaningful only for tool windows. Setting Linkable to false causes the tool window to no longer force itself to be on top, as well as changing the window's behavior.

For a document window, Linkable is always false, so setting the value fails.
