Building docking windows

[Norman]

I am new to wpf and have most of my experience in programing windows forms.  I am looking for some help achieving a solution.  I have a main control panel window i have created for my company.  What i am looking for is to be able to click on a button on this UI and have a new window slide out from behind it containing a new window that have created with different controls on it.  Both these files are their own xaml files.  

[Norman]

Is there any kind of assistance people can give me?  What i have going on is that i have one WPF form that when you click opens another window next to it.  The transition though i would like it to do is slide out from the other and then dock to the side.  How can i do this with your toolset.

Thanks

Hi Norman,

 
I am not sure I understand your scenario. Do you use the RadDocking control or RadWindow?

I am using a rad window.  I would like it to come out from behind my current dialog and then position itself next to the main dialog.

Hello Norman, 


You could achieve this manually. You need to set RadWindow.WindowStartupLocation to Manual and to use the Top/Left/TopOffSet/LeftOffSet properties. For more information, please refer to the following links:

• our online documentation - http://www.telerik.com/help/wpf/radwindow-features-positioning.html
• http://demos.telerik.com/wpf/?Window/Configurator

I hope this helps.

Best wishes,
