RadPane scrollbars

[Frank Wanicka]

Are RadPanes supposed to provide scrollbars if the content is larger than the RadPane? I thought I saw that behavior when I was originally evaluaing the Docking control, but it's not doing it for me now in my project, nor in any of the Telerik demos on this site (Silverlight or WPF). Do I need to implement my own scrolling in anything that will be put into a RadPane?

Hello Frank Wanicka,

Thank you for contacting us.

By default RadPane does not contain a ScrollViewer for its content. You can easily add a ScrollViewer by wrapping it around the content inside RadPane like so:
 

  <telerikDock:RadPane Header="Pane 1" IsSelected="True">
        <Grid Background="Transparent">
             <ScrollViewer HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto">
....
             </ScrollViewer>
        </Grid>
  </telerikDock:RadPane>

If you need further help, please contact us again.

Sincerely yours,
Dani

Hi guys

Is there a native solution to the RadPane and the content? It appears to render the area it needs rather than have the scrollbar appear even with this solution. Scrollview doesn't bind to the viewable height of the panel in my case, unless I set the scrollviewer height, which I don't want as I'd like it to stretch to the pane height as it is adjusted.

I can't get, for example, the same type of behaviours like visual studio's panes where they are all indepentantly scrolling.

I tested the suggested approach in a sample project on my end, however it works as intended. That is why I am attaching the project, which I used for testing purposes. Can you check it out and see how it differs from the setup on your end?

Should you need any further assistance, may I ask you to modify the shared project in order to demonstrate your scenario and send it back?

Thanks Vladimir,

I found the issue. I am ussing MVVM for a radtabcontrol, which had some display templates.

         <DataTemplate x:Key="ContentTemplate">            
            <ScrollViewer ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto">
                <ContentControl Content="{Binding Content}"/>
            </ScrollViewer>
        </DataTemplate>

of course, removing the scollviewer and everything worked. The only issue is, as not all other controls I load into the tab view have panes I will need to add scrolls to each. Thanks for your help!

Cheers,

I now have a strange resizing issue. When I go to resize it the panel collapses to the right, and I can't resize it at all from that far potiion too.

I am glad to hear that you were able to achieve the desired result with regards to the ScrollViewers.

As for the resizing scenario, I was not able to replicate this in the sample project I shared in my last reply. May I ask you to modify the project in order to demonstrate your setup and send it back? This will hopefully allow me to investigate it and better assist you.
