Tabbed RadDock Layout

[Michael]

Is it possible to have the RadDocks become tabbed when more than one shares the DockZone?

Anyone?

Hello Michael,

I am not quite sure what is the functionality you want to achieve. If you want to change the focused RadDock in a RadDockZone via the Tab keyboard key, you should be able to do so without additional dock configuration.

The RadDockZone can contain only dock controls so if you want to insert a RadTabStrip in the dock zone and separate the dock in multiple page views, you will have to create a separate dock zone in every RadPageView of the RadMultiPage so that you can place the docks inside:

<telerik:RadMultiPage ID="RadMultiPage1" runat="server" SelectedIndex="0" CssClass="multiPage">
    <telerik:RadPageView ID="RadPageView1" runat="server">
       <telerik:RadDockZone ID="RadDockZone1" runat="server">
          <telerik:RadDock ID="RadDock1" runat="server">
          </telerik:RadDock>
       </telerik:RadDockZone>
    </telerik:RadPageView>
</telerik:RadMultiPage>

If I have misunderstood you, please provide a more detailed description of your scenario so that I can help you accordingly.

No. What I would like to achieve is when more than one RadDock is present inside of a single RadDockZone they instead of being veritcally or horizontally aligned that they become "Tabbed" in the way VS.NET behaves? Make sense?

Hello Michael,

I am afraid that it is not possible to have a tabbed layout in the RadDockZone. The dock zone control accepts only RadDocks in its content because its purpose is to declare the zones of the page, in which the docks can be placed.

If your scenario allows it, you can use a MultiPage and add a RadDockZone with RadDocks in each RadPageView of the multipage.
