Adding Tabbed Document

[Lorenzo]

Hi,
I have one application with one docking manager that contains some dockPanels and some tabbed documents.
I want to add a tabbed document (Telerik.WinControls.Docking.DocumentPane)
via C# code... what is the best way to do this?

Thanks for support
Lorenzo

Hi Lorenzo,

Thank you for contacting us.

You can add a tabbed document using the codeblock below:

DocumentPane docPane = new DocumentPane();
docPane.Text = "Test Document";
dockingManager1.SetDocument(docPane);

Hope this helps.

I want to add a tabbed document when a tree node is selected from another docked pane.  Do you have a code snippet that would help me associate the node to the tabbed document so that I dont keep generating new documents each time I click on the same tree node?

Hi Reid,

You can use Tag property of the tree view node item:

private void radTreeView1_AfterSelect(object sender, RadTreeViewEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Node.Tag is DocumentPane)
    {
        ((DocumentPane)e.Node.Tag).Activate();
    }
    else
    {
        DocumentPane document = new DocumentPane();
        document.Text = "My Document";
        this.dockingManager1.SetDocument(document);
        e.Node.Tag = document;
    }
}

I hope this helps. Please, don't hesitate to contact us if you have other questions.
