The following code example shows how to implement a custom surrogate policy for the primary selection. For a full code listing, see How to: Create a Surrogate Policy.


// The DockPanelPolicy class implements a surrogate policy that
// provides container semantics for a selected item. By using 
// this policy, the DemoDockPanel container control offers 
// additional tasks and adorners on its children. 
class DockPanelPolicy : PrimarySelectionPolicy 
{
    public override bool IsSurrogate 
    {
        get 
        { 
            return true;
        }
    }

    public override IEnumerable<ModelItem> GetSurrogateItems(ModelItem item) 
    {
        ModelItem parent = item.Parent;

        if (parent != null)
        {
            yield return parent;
        }
    }
}
