Hide RadDock BEFORE page load

[Jon]

Hi,

I want to load a page with a RadDock object initially hidden from view.  I have used both that pageLoad event and also the OnClientInitialize event with a set_visible(false) command.  Both of these work however you see the RadDock window before it disappears.

I have thought of having the initial position being off page but then I have to ensure that the page is set to have no scrollbars or they will flash up.  One fudge after another :(

Without a fudge is there a way to have the object rendered yet remain initially visible?  

Best Regards,

Jon

Ah, here is the great thing with forums, you spend 15 mins working on a problem before thinking that someone else will have the answer on the tip of their tongue, you then post a message.  Then you notice one little thing that somehow and unbelievably you missed and that's the answer.  But that would have remained hidden if you hadn't posted the forum message - kind of ironic given the subject in this case!

If anyone else needs this in the future, Closed="True" in the RadDock tag does the trick.  I suppose that it's a case of remembering that in this case closed and visible are related to the same thing.

Cheers,

Jon

Hello Jon,

I am glad that you have managed to find a solution to your case!

I just want to note that although Closed="True" and Visible="False" have similar visual effect, the way they achieve it is different. If you set the RadDock with property Closed set to True the CSS style display:none will be applied to the control and if the property Visible is set to False the dock control will not be rendered on the page at all.
