Client / Admin Facing Docks

[Neil]

I am working on a project that requires an administrator to set the layout of custom user controls for use on a client facing portal.  I started using this example

When the end-user views the page there should be no dock functionality, so, can all the dock functionality such as drag/drop, layout styling and minimize/close be removed?  Or should I just parse the JSON that gets stored in the db and load the controls that way?

Thanks.

You can use a few different properties to achieve this:

RadDock dock = new RadDock();
dock.EnableDrag = false;
dock.DefaultCommands = Telerik.Web.UI.Dock.DefaultCommands.None;

And you could style the RadDockTemplate.

I personally made portal where before registration users received a "default" layout where no moving of any kind was allowed nor any commands. After registration commands became available. So I think what you are trying to achieve is very well possible.

EDIT:

I took a look at your project and you could achieve this by modifying your code like this:

    private RadDock CreateRadDockFromState(DockState state)
    {
        RadDock dock = new RadDock();
        dock.DockMode = DockMode.Docked;
        dock.ID = string.Format("RadDock{0}", state.UniqueName);
        dock.ApplyState(state);
        dock.DefaultCommands = Telerik.Web.UI.Dock.DefaultCommands.None;
        dock.EnableDrag = false;
        dock.TitlebarTemplate = new YouCustomTitleBarTemplate():

        return dock;
    }

You're welcome, could you mark my answer as the solution ?

Sure, I don't see how to do the though.

Hey Neil,

It should look something like this:

Thx in advance.

I don't have that option.
