How to set raddock at a specific position inside the raddockzone

[Gaurav]

Hello,

I create raddock dynamically. I wish to add newly created raddock at  any position in the raddockzone.

RadDockZone1.Controls.Add(dock) - adds dock at index 0 by default.

Can you please suggest approach to add newly created raddock at any position in the raddockzone ?

Thanks

Hello Gaurav,

Adding the RadDock dynamically to a selected position in the RadDockZone can be achieved by a client script, which is registered from the server and moves the dock to the desired position. Below you can find a code snippet, demonstrating how to register the suggested JavaScript function. Overall, it gets from a DropDownList the RadDockZone in which the RadDock should be docked and calls the client method dock.

    ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this,
        this.GetType(),
        "MoveDock",
    string.Format(@"function _moveDock() {{
                            Sys.Application.remove_load(_moveDock);
                            $find('{1}').dock($find('{0}'),{2});
                            }};
                            Sys.Application.add_load(_moveDock);", dock.ClientID, DropDownZone.SelectedValue, dockPosition),
    true);
}

The script, presented above, should be registered in the server-side event handler, used for dynamically creating a RadDock.

For your convenience I have attached a sample project, implementing the suggested solution. Please use it as a reference for incorporating the desired functionality.
