Reporting Content Height

[Dennis]

I know that another thread indicated that this was not a support property of the HTMLPlaceHolder, but I think that to be useful it need to report the actual height taken (and auto-expand as needed) based on the width it consumes or is provided. So, I would like to second that this is requested functionality; otherwise, this control provides no value since I cannot determine how to size the height without knowing the content height.

Hi Dennis,

Just to clarify - are you talking about the case when an external url is loaded inside the RadHtmlPlaceholder?

No, I have a HTML string stored that I just want rendered. So, I am simply assigning the string to the HtmlSource property of the control. Doing it this way, is there a way to autosize the height?

Hi Dennis,

It is should be working by default this way. Can you send as a sample code where it behaves differently.

Here is our test code:
XAML:

<StackPanel>
            <Rectangle Fill="Yellow" Width="100" Height="100"></Rectangle>
            <telerik:RadHtmlPlaceholder x:Name="RadHtmlPlaceholder1"/>
            <Rectangle Fill="Red" Width="100" Height="100"></Rectangle>
            </StackPanel>

C#:

public MainPage()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            RadHtmlPlaceholder1.HtmlSource = String.Format(@"<div style=""width:50px;height:50px;background-color:white;"">test</div>");
        }

This seems to work in all but 1 case. If the source content is an empty string, it does not collapse the Placeholder, it keeps it expanded at about 300 pixels. So, RadHtmlPlaceholder1.HtmlSource = String.Format (String.Empty); does not return what I would expect.

I am still having some other height issues, but I think they may be on my side. So, I will go with this for now and see what happens. Thanks.

The problem that I am experiencing is when the RadHtmlPlaceholder is placed into a Docking Pane. It does not size its height correctly. I am going to open a ticket with a test project for you. Thanks.

I am having the same issue.

Thanks,

Thank you in advance.
