Add LayoutControlGroupItem by Code

[Dario Concilio]

Hi to all,

I would create a structure like this:

• MainForm (mdi)
• PageView (outlook) dock.left
• LayoutControlTabbedGroup
• Every PageView contains a treeview (classic outlook approach)
• When click a node of current pageview-treeview, it has to:
  • Create a LayoutControlGroupItem
  • Create a MyUserControl (relative to type of node)
  • Add MyUserControl to LayoutControlGroupItem
  • Add LayoutControlGroupItem to LayoutControlTabbedGroup

  Can I do this?

  Actually Imet this problem, when I try to add valuteUC to valuteLG it says me thatvaluteLG.Container = Nothing

  What I have to do?

  Dim valuteUC = New ValuteUserControl()
  Dim valuteLG = New LayoutControlGroupItem()
  valuteLG.Container.Add(valuteUC)
  MainLayoutControlTabbedGroup.Container.Add(valuteLG)

Hi Potito,

Thank you for writing.

The following snippet shows how you can add items to RadLayoutControl:

radLayoutControl1.SuspendLayout()

Dim tabbedgroup As New LayoutControlTabbedGroup()

Dim groupItem As New LayoutControlGroupItem()
groupItem.Text = "group 1"
tabbedgroup.ItemGroups.Add(groupItem)

radLayoutControl1.AddItem(tabbedgroup)

Dim button As New RadButton() With {.Text = "Button"}
button.Click += Button_Click
Dim item As New LayoutControlItem()
item.AssociatedControl = button

radLayoutControl1.AddItem(item, groupItem.ContainerElement)

radLayoutControl1.ResumeLayout()

The above code uses the AddItem method which provides several overrides and it is recommended for the items adding.

Please let me know if there is something else I can help you with.
