Can other dock elements auto-resize when another dock has been collapsed?

[trippsc2]

This may be me misunderstanding how the controls work and interact. When I pin all tools in a tool dock, the extra space created becomes white space and the docks do not make use of the vacated space. My current layout tree looks like this.

• RootDock
  • RootDock
    • ProportionalDock
      • ToolDock (IsCollapsable = true)
      • ProportionalDockSplitter
      • DocumentDock

What I am looking to accomplish is a look similar to Rider's UI, where I have multiple tools that can dock on the left, bottom, or right of the main window or float, but cannot be moved to the main document dock. If all of these tools on a side are pinned, the tool dock collapses and the document dock reclaims the space. I would prefer to not lose the ability to resize the tools when they are unpinned.

Is this possible in the current implementation and/or is there some coaxing I can do to make this work?

Not yet implemented.

I don't know if this would give you some insight in a solution for this issue but when you move a ToolDock, the other components around it expand as expected to fill the space. Only when you collapse a ToolDock does it seem to leave a gap.
In your DockXamlExample, collapse the SolutionExplorer vs move the SolutionExplorer and you'll see the difference in behaviour. I would expect the gap should be filled when collapsing in the way that the gap is filled when it's moved.
