Disable Corner Resizer on Minimize

[Dan]

It would be beneficial if there was an option to have the window not have the re-sizer corner gadget if the window is in a minimized state. 

Resizing from corner gadget in that state sometimes has some bizarre size effects. I'd guess in most cases, the end user expects minimization to act like it does in an MDI child window in Winforms anyway.

Hello Dan,

Yes, I agree that the resizing functionality shouldn't be available whenever the RadWindow is minimized. We are still working and improving this control so that for the Q3 release you can expect this behavior to be the default one. Your feedback is of great importance to us and we are really thankful to receive such comments so that we can significantly enhance our controls.

Thanks for your reply Hristo.

For the benefit of the other end-users, I've gotten around this quirk a little by inheriting the control and over-riding the resizing.  When minimized, I've added code to make any resizing act like the "return to normal" button has been pressed.  It's not ideal behavior, but should be acceptable for most people until you get your fix in place.

Next post has the code:

using System.Windows;
using Telerik.Windows.Controls;




namespace MyOrg.MySilverlightClassLibrary {
    public class MyWindow : RadWindow{
        public MyWindow():base() {
            base.SizeChanged += OnSizeChanged_Event;
        }

        private bool theWasResizedToMinimum = false;

        private void OnSizeChanged_Event(object sender, SizeChangedEventArgs e) {
            if (WindowState == WindowState.Minimized) {
            if (!theWasResizedToMinimum)
                theWasResizedToMinimum = true;
            else {
                theWasResizedToMinimum = false;
                WindowState = WindowState.Normal;
            }
        }
    }
