As mentioned in a previous blog post, we're putting a lot of development time into a new product named Docking for WPF. This product will provide advanced docking window and MDI management functionality for WPF applications, similar to that of our UIStudio product for Windows Forms.
We also have several other major new WPF products in the works but are keeping quiet on those for the time being.
Progress Update
Without further ado, here is a current screenshot of the Docking product:

Much of the functionality you see above is working great. We need to do a lot of object model refinements yet and have to get into some other new features but everything is progressing nicely.
Getting Docking for WPF
Docking for WPF is not yet available, however customers of our WPF products may be eligible to participate in a beta test once we get closer to that phase of development. If you are a WPF Studio customer and would like to help beta test the product later on in the development cycle, send us an e-mail.
We get a lot of questions on whether the Docking for WPF product will be included in WPF Studio upon release. The answer is yes.
Any customer who has an active WPF Studio subscription at the time of Docking for WPF's release will get it for free!
