There two ways to detect whether a FrameworkElement is hosted in DockingManager or not. They are:

1. Getting DockingManager instance for a FrameworkElement and checking whether it is null or not.
2. Detecting whether the FrameworkElement is present in the Children collection of DockingManager.

The two ways are shown below:

C#

//Getting DockingManager Instance.

DockingManager manager=DockingManager.GetDockingManager(element1);

//Checking whether element1 is in children collection.

DockingManager.Children.Contains(element1);
