Splitterposition loading issue

[Thomas Felis]

Hello,

I have an issue with the raddocking's loadlayout().
When i try to load a layout, sometimes the splittercontainer's position fails to load correctly.

I've made a small demo to represent the problem.

<telerikDocking:RadDocking x:Name="dokcingMain">
           <telerikDocking:RadDocking.DocumentHost>
               <telerikDocking:RadSplitContainer>
                   <telerikDocking:RadPaneGroup x:Name="PaneGroup" >
                       <telerikDocking:RadPane telerikDocking:RadDocking.SerializationTag="pane1"
                                               Header="Pane1" BorderThickness="0"
                                               CanUserClose="False" CanFloat="False" CanUserPin="False"
                                               ContextMenuTemplate="{x:Null}"/>
                       <telerikDocking:RadPane telerikDocking:RadDocking.SerializationTag="pane2"
                                               Header="Pane1" BorderThickness="0"
                                               CanUserClose="False" CanFloat="False" CanUserPin="False"
                                               ContextMenuTemplate="{x:Null}"/>
                       <telerikDocking:RadPane telerikDocking:RadDocking.SerializationTag="pane3"
                                               Header="Pane3" BorderThickness="0"
                                               CanUserClose="False" CanFloat="False" CanUserPin="False"
                                               ContextMenuTemplate="{x:Null}"/>
                       <telerikDocking:RadPane telerikDocking:RadDocking.SerializationTag="pane4"
                                               Header="Pane4" CanUserClose="False"
                                               CanUserPin="False" CanFloat="False"
                                               ContextMenuTemplate="{x:Null}"/>
                       <telerikDocking:RadPane telerikDocking:RadDocking.SerializationTag="pane5"
                                               Header="Pane5" BorderThickness="0"
                                               CanUserClose="False" CanFloat="False" CanUserPin="False"
                                               ContextMenuTemplate="{x:Null}"/>
                       <telerikDocking:RadPane telerikDocking:RadDocking.SerializationTag="pane6"
                                               Header="Pane6" BorderThickness="0"
                                               CanUserClose="False" CanFloat="False" CanUserPin="False"
                                               ContextMenuTemplate="{x:Null}"/>
                       <telerikDocking:RadPane telerikDocking:RadDocking.SerializationTag="pane7"
                                               Header="Pane7" BorderThickness="0"
                                               CanUserClose="False"
                                               ContextMenuTemplate="{x:Null}"/>
                   </telerikDocking:RadPaneGroup>
               </telerikDocking:RadSplitContainer>
           </telerikDocking:RadDocking.DocumentHost>
       </telerikDocking:RadDocking>

After i started the demo, I floated the Pane7, then I re-docked it to the inner-left area (so there will be 2 radpanegroups at the end).
I set the splitter's position by hand, then saved the layout to an xml file.

Here is the result:

<RadDocking>
  <DocumentHost>
    <RadSplitContainer>
      <Items>
        <RadPaneGroup RelativeWidth="100" RelativeHeight="100" IsAutoGenerated="True" SplitterChange="42,2180640734751" SelectedIndex="0">
          <Items>
            <RadPane SerializationTag="pane7" IsDockable="True" Title="Pane7" Header="Pane7" CanUserClose="False" />
          </Items>
        </RadPaneGroup>
        <RadPaneGroup SplitterChange="456,781935926525" SelectedIndex="0">
          <Items>
            <RadPane SerializationTag="pane1" IsDockable="True" Title="Pane1" Header="Pane1" CanUserClose="False" CanUserPin="False" CanFloat="False" />
            <RadPane SerializationTag="pane2" IsDockable="True" Title="Pane1" Header="Pane1" CanUserClose="False" CanUserPin="False" CanFloat="False" />
            <RadPane SerializationTag="pane3" IsDockable="True" Title="Pane3" Header="Pane3" CanUserClose="False" CanUserPin="False" CanFloat="False" />
            <RadPane SerializationTag="pane4" IsDockable="True" Title="Pane4" Header="Pane4" CanUserClose="False" CanUserPin="False" CanFloat="False" />
            <RadPane SerializationTag="pane5" IsDockable="True" Title="Pane5" Header="Pane5" CanUserClose="False" CanUserPin="False" CanFloat="False" />
            <RadPane SerializationTag="pane6" IsDockable="True" Title="Pane6" Header="Pane6" CanUserClose="False" CanUserPin="False" CanFloat="False" />
          </Items>
        </RadPaneGroup>
      </Items>
    </RadSplitContainer>
  </DocumentHost>
  <SplitContainers />
</RadDocking>

As you can see, the first radpanegroup is approximately ~42px wide, while the second is 456px. So far so good...
But when i try to load these settings, the splitter's position fails to load correctly.

I've made a screenshots before and after the layout loading.

Before:
Right splitter position screenshot

After:
Wrong splitter position screenshot

Have you got any idea what could cause this behaviour? Any help will be appreciated.

Hello Thomas,

 
Could you please explain when the layout fails to load correctly? If you send us a sample project that reproduces the problem it would be very helpful in further pinpointing the problem.

I am glad to assist you further.
