Disabling Docking modes

[MacKenzie Mickelsen]

 Hi

 

 We are using the RadDocking control to manage some of our panels on our UI. I am wonder if it is possible to either disable specific modes from the drop down arrow specifically we need to disable the Tabbed Document or disable the drop down arrow completely?

 

Thanks in advance

MacKenzie

Hello MacKenzie,

 You can manipulate the drop-down menu (the menu of the Arrow) by changing the ContextMenuTemplate property of the RadPane control. If you set it to null this will remove the menu entirely.

Hope this helps!

Hi,

is there any way to prevent a document being tabbed in the UI?  For example, a user can drag a floating RadPane and "tab" it alongside an existing RadPane.

Thanks

Hi Daniel,

 Could you please explain us what does "to tab it" means as I cannot clearly understand? If you could also send us a screen shot or a video this would also help us.

Hi Miroslav,

thanks for the response.  I've attached a screenshot which is the situation I want to disable if possible.  There are two panes which are tabs in the same group.  I want to prevent this from happening.  I can see from your previous answer you can remove the menu options, but I can still do it by dragging the panes around.  Ideally I want to be able to drag the panes around to reposition and dock them, but not allow them to become tabs (by dragging one pane directly over the other).  If it still isn't clear, I'll create a video for you.

Thanks!

Hello Daniel,

 I think I understood what you want to achieve. In my opinion the following examples should help you achieve the searched effect:
