Programatically changing RadPaneGroup Height

[Andrew]

I have a RadSplitContainer that looks like so:

<telerik:RadSplitContainer x:Name="radSplitContainer" Orientation="Vertical">
    <telerik:RadPaneGroup>
        <telerik:RadPane CanFloat="False" CanUserClose="False" CanUserPin="False" PaneHeaderVisibility="Collapsed">
                <telerik:RadTileView x:Name="tileView"/>
        </telerik:RadPane>
    </telerik:RadPaneGroup>
    <telerik:RadPaneGroup x:Name="gridPaneGroup">
        <telerik:RadPane CanFloat="False" CanUserClose="False" CanUserPin="False" PaneHeaderVisibility="Collapsed" x:Name="gridPane" IsHidden="False">
            <local:MyControl/>
        </telerik:RadPane>
    </telerik:RadPaneGroup>
</telerik:RadSplitContainer>

Is there a way in which I can programatically change the Height of the second RadPaneGroup? I've tried doing something like:

this.gridPaneGroup.Height = 150;

but it does not appear to change the height of the pane at all. Any help on this would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hello Andrew,

In RadDocking changing the size of a PaneGroup to a specific size is not supported. By design in the control all PaneGroups in a specific SplitContainer take the size of that container. It is not possible to explicitly set a size to a group but it is possible to set a relative size between PaneGroups.

You can read this help article that goes through on how to Set Relative Sizes to RadPanegroups.

All the best,

That would help, but I don't see a way to set that property programatically. Is there a way?

Hi Andrew,

In order to set the RelativeSize from the code behind you will need to use the SetRelativeSize() method of the ProportionalStackPanel class.

The next code snippet shows how to change the relative size of the gridPaneGroup from your example:

Telerik.Windows.Controls.ProportionalStackPanel.SetRelativeSize(this.gridPaneGroup, new Size(200, 200));

Hope this helps.
