RadPane is automatically selected (IsSelected set to true) after adding to RadPaneGroup.Items collection.

RadPane is automatically selected (IsSelected set to true) after adding to RadPaneGroup.Items collection. Can I prevent such behaviour? I would like to add new RadPane to the RadPaneGroup but not change already selected RadPane.

Hi Adrian,

This is the default behavior of the Docking control - when new Pane is added it automatically becomes selected. However if you want to avoid that behavior you would need to manually select the previously selected RadPane when the new one is added.

Hope this will work for you.

Kalin,

Thank you for response. Unfortunatelly proposed solution is not acceptable because during the selection change there are many things that happen in the code (so I don't want them to happen). However I have found a workaround that suits me:

private void AddFrameToPaneGroup(RadPaneGroup paneGroup, RadPane pane, bool autoSelect)
{
   if (autoSelect || paneGroup.Items.Count == 0)
   {
      paneGroup.Items.Add(pane);
   }
   else
   {
      paneGroup.PreviewSelectionChanged += PreventAutoselect;
      paneGroup.Items.Add(pane);
      paneGroup.PreviewSelectionChanged -= PreventAutoselect;
   }
}

private void PreventAutoselect(object sender, RadSelectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
   e.Handled = true;
}

Regards,
Adrian
