Databinding with RadPaneGroup

[Daryl]

I'm trying to use databinding to add RadPanes at runtime. However, when I do the following, all that's displayed is a white blank area for the pane, with no headers or controls. However, the bottom edge of the white area can be resized (even though no splitter border is visible).

In the sample code below, I'm not even attempting to substitute content with databinding, I'm just trying to get a static item to show up. What am I missing?

Thanks for any help!

Here is the xaml:

   <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">
      <dock:RadDocking>
         <dock:RadSplitContainer x:Name="SummaryContainer" Orientation="Horizontal" InitialPosition="DockedTop" Height="300" VerticalContentAlignment="Top" >
            <dock:RadPaneGroup x:Name="SummaryGroup">
               <dock:RadPaneGroup.ItemTemplate>
                  <DataTemplate>
                     <dock:RadPane Header="Summary 1" Title="Summary 1">
                        <TextBlock Text="Summary 1 data goes here" />
                     </dock:RadPane>
                  </DataTemplate>
               </dock:RadPaneGroup.ItemTemplate>
            </dock:RadPaneGroup>
         </dock:RadSplitContainer>
      </dock:RadDocking>
   </Grid>

 

And here is the code behind:

      public DockingBugTest()
      {
         InitializeComponent();
         ObservableCollection<DockTestData> dockTestData = new ObservableCollection<DockTestData>();
         dockTestData.Add(new DockTestData() { MyTitle = "My Summary 1" });
         SummaryGroup.DataContext = dockTestData;
         SummaryGroup.ItemsSource = dockTestData;
      }

      public class DockTestData
      {
         public string MyTitle { get; set; }
      }

Hi Daryl ,

Unfortunately setting the ItemsSource property is not supported by the Docking control (and RadSplitContainer and RadPaneGroup controls). What I could suggest you is to add your panes to the Items collection of the RadPaneGroup.

Ah. I'm disappointed, but I'll try that.

Thanks for the reply, Miroslav.

Hi Daryl ,

I'm sorry to hear that you are disappointed. The specifics of the Docking control are different from the ones in the ItemsControl. Yes, the Docking control derives from ItemsControl (and the SplitContainer and PaneGroup also), but it acts slightly different - all the panes can be moved around, closed, etc.
