Compass and VisualCue are clipped after scaling

[Dzsek]

Hello,
After using ScaleTransform to scale up the UI of our application the Compass and VisualCue elements are clipped to, what seems to be, the unscaled size of the RadDocking control.

I am scaling the application by adding

<Grid.LayoutTransform>
            <ScaleTransform ScaleX="1.5" ScaleY="1.5" />
</Grid.LayoutTransform>

to the root element of the main window and setting the compass and visualcue scaling with

<telerikDocking:RadDocking.CompassStyle>
    <Style TargetType="telerik:Compass">
        <Setter Property="LayoutTransform">
            <Setter.Value>
                <ScaleTransform ScaleX="1.5" ScaleY="1.5"/>
            </Setter.Value>
        </Setter>
    </Style>
</telerikDocking:RadDocking.CompassStyle>
<telerikDocking:RadDocking.RootCompassStyle>
    <Style TargetType="telerik:RootCompass">
        <Setter Property="LayoutTransform">
            <Setter.Value>
                <ScaleTransform ScaleX="1.5" ScaleY="1.5" />
            </Setter.Value>
        </Setter>
    </Style>
</telerikDocking:RadDocking.RootCompassStyle>
<telerikDocking:RadDocking.VisualCueStyle>
    <Style TargetType="telerik:VisualCue">
        <Setter Property="LayoutTransform">
            <Setter.Value>
                <ScaleTransform ScaleX="1.5" ScaleY="1.5" />
            </Setter.Value>
        </Setter>
    </Style>
</telerikDocking:RadDocking.VisualCueStyle>

You can see the result in the attached image.
Are there other elements of the RadDocking control which I didn't set the scaling for, or am I approaching the whole scaling the wrong way ?

Hello Dzsek,

Thank you for contacting us.

In the current version of RadDocking intentionally scaling the control is not a supported scenario. The control is designed to scale it's parts relative to the OS's resolution. As the RadDocking is a complex control that involves many visual elements created at run time using the LayoutTransform's ScaleTransform is not an applicable approach.

We always try to improve our control and will discuss the possibility of adding such scaling feature in one of our future releases of Telerik UI for WPF.

Hello Vladi,
I'm glad for all telerik controls and their improves from version to version.
Are there any futher forecasts with scalling this control?

The main disaster is displacement of rootcompass (which replacing) and visualcue (which stay in the middle).
Maybe there any solution to avoid displacement, is not it?

Hi Anatoliy,

While there are no immediate plans for implementing support for using ScaleTransform in order to scale the RadDocking control and its compasses/drop cues we always do our best to improve our controls which is why we logged the discussed feature request into our feedback portal. You can vote for it and track its status here.

If such feature receives enough user demand we will do our best to provide it as soon as possible.

Hello Anatoliy,

Thanks for the update.

Currently, this feature request is not scheduled for implementation. Please note, that this depends on various aspects. One of the major ones is the user's demand for providing a given feature. We will, however, do our best to consider it in our next planning.

Hi Stefan,

Nothing to thank for, yet!

What prevents you from scheduling the implementation of this functionality for those three and half years?! Is it really difficult and need so much time...
