How to show RadPane back after I x it

[Kashif Imran]

If I x a pane, how can I get it back? I guess it is only hidden because I have video in the pane and i can hear the sould.

I tried setting IsHidden = false as well as IsSelected to true and .Visibility to Visible but it does not appear.

Hello Kashif Imran,

If you hide the pane, IsHidden set to True should work as expected., If the pane is in a ToolWindow, it will not work as the pane will not be hidden at all, it will just be in a closed window. You can use this code to show the pane in any case:

private static void ShowPane(RadPane pane)
{
    if (pane.IsHidden)
    {
        pane.IsHidden = false;
    }

    var parentWindow = pane.ParentOfType<Telerik.Windows.Controls.Docking.ToolWindow>();
    if (parentWindow != null && parentWindow.Visibility == Visibility.Collapsed)
    {
        bool isDockable = pane.IsDockable;

        if (!isDockable)
        {
            pane.MakeFloatingDockable();
        }

        pane.MakeFloatingOnly();

        if (isDockable)
        {
            pane.MakeFloatingDockable();
        }
    }
}
