Problem positioning RadDocumentPane programattically

[C Bates]

Hello, I have this xaml:

                <docking:RadDocking.DocumentHost>
                    <docking:RadSplitContainer x:Name="splitContainer1">
                        <docking:RadPaneGroup x:Name="mapGroup" docking:RadDocking.SerializationTag="mapGroup">
                            <!-- The Maps area -->
                        </docking:RadPaneGroup>
                    </docking:RadSplitContainer>
                </docking:RadDocking.DocumentHost>

I add RadDocumentPanes like this:

            if (rbRight.IsChecked == true)
            {
                mapGroup.AddItem(newPane, DockPosition.Left);
            }
            else
            {
                mapGroup.AddItem(newPane, DockPosition.Bottom);
            }

Regardless of the DockPosition, the new pane is arranged tiled vertically to the right of the original pane.

What am I doing wrong?

(I don't know what could have changed, but this code was working earlier today -- the new pane was arranged below the initial pane.)

Hello C Bates,

 Your code is working as expected. The AddItem method adds panes relatively to the mapGroup pane group that is empty in your case and because of this it is invisible. If you put same pane in it, you will see that the panes are going just where you want to - to the left and to the bottom of the pointed group.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes,
