Edit PaneHeader Template Problem

[James]

Hello,

I wish to edit the PaneHeader template using Blend3 but can not seem to make Blend output the template.

I've tried dragging a PaneHeader onto the design surface and selecting Edit Template -> Edit a Copy. Blend only gives me:

 

  <ControlTemplate x:Key="PaneHeaderControlTemplate1" TargetType="Telerik_Windows_Controls_Docking:PaneHeader"/>

 

Also, I've tried editing the template of the HeaderElement control, within the RadPaneGroup template, but this time receive a AG_E_UNKNOWN_ERROR from Blend.

I'm not having this problem with any other controls, just the PaneHeader. I also had the same problem in Q1 and Q2. Have also tried on a different machine/build with the same results.

If you could please post a copy of the PaneHeader template to get me moving that would be fantastic.

Kind Regards,
James.

Hello James,

I have attached the Docking's xaml file for Office_Black. You can find the pane header's template by searching:
<Style TargetType="dock:PaneHeader"
for the style and:
<ControlTemplate x:Key="PaneHeaderTemplate" TargetType="dock:PaneHeader">
for the template.

I don't know your project's current status. You may need to include more resources referenced as {StaticResource ... } in the style and control template but some of them may be already added with the rest of the customized elements. Anyway if you insert the template you should be able to find any missing resources within the attached xaml file.

If you need the xaml for other theme you should be able to find it in the trial package within the:
Themes\<theme name>\Themes\<theme name>\Docking.xaml

We've put a lot of effort in the RadDocking control during the last release and we will definitely work on blend's design time compatibility. Thanks for your interest in our controls.

Kind regards,
