I have 7 different view models that all need to be displayed in different LayoutAnchorable windows. I don't want them to start out tabbed. Ideally, I would like to have a flexible layout, not just 7 windows vertical or horizontal, but I could settle for that layout.
I am able to achieve the layout I want by using multiple nested LayoutPanels with different Orientations. But, when I do this, I have to "hardcode" the View Model with a ContentControl, I can't figure out how to use a data attribute on my ViewModel to set the Title and Visibility of the LayoutAnchorable.
Using this code, I am able to bind all the values I need to drive visibility, titles, etc. How can I layout the "anchorables" so they are not all together in one tabbed group to start with?

<xcad:DockingManager x:Name="ViewDockingManager" AnchorablesSource="{Binding ListOfViewModels}"
Margin="0,0,0,40" Grid.Row="2">
<xcad:DockingManager.LayoutItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type xcad:LayoutAnchorableItem}">
<Setter Property="Title" Value="{Binding Model.DisplayName}"/>
<Setter Property="CanFloat" Value="True" />
<Setter Property="CanHide" Value="False"/>
<Setter Property="Visibility" Value="{Binding Model.IsVisible, Converter={StaticResource booleanToVisibilityConverter}}"/>
</Style>
</xcad:DockingManager.LayoutItemContainerStyle>
<xcad:DockingManager.LayoutItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<ContentControl cal:View.Model="{Binding .}" />
</DataTemplate>
</xcad:DockingManager.LayoutItemTemplate>
<xcad:LayoutRoot>
<xcad:LayoutPanel/>
</xcad:LayoutRoot>
</xcad:DockingManager>
Thanks!
