Auto Hide Docking Panel Min Width

[Bex]

Hello

I have a docking manager with 2 panels. one fixed and one auto hide.
When the auto hide panel is activated I want it to open the full width of the docking manager but at the moment it only opens a 1/4 (ish) the way.
I have tried setting the "minimumsize" and the "minsize"  and the "size" attribute but none of them seem to make any difference, although I cannot find any documentation on the "minsize" attrib.

Is it possible to do this?

Thanks

Bex

Hello Becky,

You may try using the AutoHidePanel.Size property of of DockingManager as demonstrated bellow:

this.dockingManager1.AutoHidePanel.Size = new Size(200, 200);

Hello

Do I have to add this in any particular place as it doesn;t appear to make any difference if I set it in the form load?

Thanks

Hi Becky,

Thank you for your inquiry. I cannot currently find a workaround for the issue and it really seems that the code snippet below does not work as expected. Unfortunately, since the schedule is currently very tight will be able to answer this question more promptly in a few days.

Hi Becky,

Indeed, currently it is not possible to set the Size for the AutoHide panels. We plan to address this issue in Q1 2009. Unfortunately, we cannot provide you with a workaround for the time being.

Kind regards,

Hi Nikolay,

I was wondering if this problem was fixed since Becky ask the question ? Cause I have a similar problem with an AutoHidePanel wich change size the second time it's shown.

Thanks

Hi [Nean],

This issue was addressed in the relatively new RadDock control. You can set the AutoHideSize of a ToolWindow as it is shown below:

this.toolWindow1.AutoHideSize = new Size(100, 100);

If you have additional questions, feel free to contact me.
