Please use the project attached. 1.Run the application with multi-monitor configuration. 2.Undock toolWindow1 from RadForm1 and maximize it to the different window. 3.Close the application (the layout will be saved). 4.Run the application again. Workaround: handle the FloatingWindowCreated event and set FormWindowState.Maximized for the floating window. protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e) { base.OnLoad(e); this.radDock1.FloatingWindowCreated+=radDock1_FloatingWindowCreated; if (File.Exists(FileName)) radDock1.LoadFromXml(FileName); } private void radDock1_FloatingWindowCreated(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.Docking.FloatingWindowEventArgs e) { e.Window.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized; }
