Remove RadPanelBarGroupElement from RadPanelbar at runtime

[Walter]

Hello,

I have a radpanelbar with 10 RadPanelBarGroupElements where i want to remove some RadPanelBarGroupElements at runtime. I use this:

this.radPanelBar.Items.Remove(element); // element is a RadPanelBarGroupElement

Inside each RadPanelBarGroupElement there is a radgridview.

this shows up fine, but when the application exits, i get an argumentexception ("parameter is not valid")
the stacktrace shows this:    at System.Drawing.Drawing2D.Matrix.Clone()

if i do this instead:
element.Visibility = ElementVisibility.Hidden;
the error doesn't happen, and the element is hidden but still takes up space inside the panelbar (i don't want that).

What is the best way to remove items from a radpanelbar?
i used version 6.1.0.0

Hello Walter,

Thank you for contacting me.

I would suggest you to use the Collapsed visibility state instead of Hidden? ElementVisibility.Hidden member only hides the element but it still has bounds, which affect the control's layout while the ElementVisibility.Collapsed member hides the element and its bounds do not affect the internal control's layout.

Don't hesitate to contact me if you have further problems.

Hello Boyko,

The elementVisibility.Collapsed didn't do the trick, but this did:

for

(int i = elementlist.Count; i > list.Count; i--)

{

RadPanelBarGroupElement element = elementlist[i - 1];

RadGridView gridview = gridviewlist[i - 1];

this.radPanelBar.Items.Remove(element);

element.Dispose();

gridview.Dispose();

}

gridview is the gridview inside the contentpanel.

Grtz,
