Hi,

I'm evaluating the latest version of the RAD controls for Winforms and I'm looking for some kind of control that will be like a collapsible groupbox. The idea is that i have a filter in my form which is a group of combo boxes contained in a groupbox. I'm looking for some kind behavior that when the groupbox header (for instance) is clicked the groupbox will collapse (and the header will remain) and another click will restore the groupbox to its original state.

I guess i could use the dock control, but i think it is too much for this case. I saw in your demo application of the RAD controls that there is some kind of splitter (QsfSplitter), is it a standard control?
 
Is there some kind of control in toolkit or in the custom control library that i've missed?

Thanks,
Sharon.

Hi Sharon Eden,

Thank you for the question.

You can accomplish this task by using either:
  • RadPanelBar, which is a collapsible Outlook-like navigation control. It is the closest control we have to a collapsible groupbox.
  • the collapsible panel custom control, which you can find in the demo application, installed with our tools (it is under the Integration section). This is a custom solution, which may not be very well suited for your needs, so feel free to review its implementation before choosing it.
As to split control, please review the SplitContainer we offer.

All of these products have demos in the demo app.
 
Let us know if you have other questions.

Sincerely yours,
