Put a user control in dockzone?

[Elton]

Hello,
As title, my question is if we can put a user control in a dockzone?

Cheers,
Elton

Hi Elton,

You cannot place a user control directly in a RadDockZone - you can only place RadDocks in a zone. One idea would be to place your user control inside the dock and modify the dock's appearance (hide its titlebar, etc.) so that the user only sees the user control and not the dock around it.

Thank you for reply Petya,

I didn't describe my question clearly.
Acturally I created user controls, each of them is a RadDock. I tried to put them in another RadDock, it looks funny when I drag them.

Currently I put each RadDock in a RadDockZone on my user control. So when I use them I got many zones on a page. And when I drag docks and drop them in one zone, leave other zones empty, there's some empty space which is from empty zones (I set MinSize of Zones 0px already). Just wanna  avoid that empty space.

Is that way ?

Cheers,
Elton

Hello Elton,

Would it be possible for you to provide us with some sample code which we can run to observe your exact settings and the empty space you describe so we can try to better understand the issue and provide a solution. Please, make sure it is a simple running project that includes all fies necessary to be run. To be able to attach files you need to open a support ticket as demonstrated in the attached instructions.

I have a similar question:  I have multiple user controls.  Each of the user controls is nothing more than a RadGrid and a hidden field. 
Here is my code to display the control.  I have also included one of the controls below.  The issue is the grid is showing up below the RadDock, not in the rad dock?  Why would that be the case?  Is there something I am failing to do?

Hello Sam,

I tested the code you have provided and everything is working fine. The RadGrid,as expected, is in the RadDock. Please test the project attached to the thread, and you will see that the grid is shown correctly in the dock.

Can you please send a running project (possibly the project you are working on (at the moment) and experiencing this issue) so we can observe the problem more closely? Please note that, in order to attach files you need to open a support ticket. 


All the best,
Pero
