Add ToolWindow DockLayoutPanel Button

[Ian]

Hi Telerik

I'm using the following code to add button to the tabstrip at the top of some of the tool windows in my RadDock. The button adds no problem and the events for the button work fine. I would like the button to appear at the right hand edge off the tabstrip rather than its position at the moment (which is just after the image I am also adding). See the attached screenshot.

How can I move the button to the Righthand side of the tabstrip?

Many thanks in advance

public void SetToolWindowElements()
{
    foreach (ToolWindow tw in rdockMain.DockWindows)
    {
        if (tw != twTemplates && tw != twExecutables && tw != twEquityFunds && tw != twInstrumentLibrary && tw != twScheduleLibrary) continue;

        var iconImage = new ImagePrimitive {Image = Resources.alpha_logo24}; //, Padding = new Padding(4, 0, 3, 0)};
        var refreshButton = new RadButtonElement {Image = Resources.Refresh20, ImageAlignment = ContentAlignment.MiddleCenter};
        tw.TabStrip.Height = 28;

        if (tw == twInstrumentLibrary)
        {
            refreshButton.Click += InstrumentLibraryRefresh;
        }
        else if (tw == twEquityFunds || tw == twScheduleLibrary)
        {
            refreshButton.Click += ScheduleEquityLibraryRefresh;
        }

        if (((ToolTabStrip) tw.TabStrip).CaptionElement.Children[2].Children[0].GetType() != typeof (ImagePrimitive))
        {
            ((ToolTabStrip) tw.TabStrip).CaptionElement.Children[2].Children.Insert(0, iconImage);
        }

        if (tw != twEquityFunds && tw != twInstrumentLibrary && tw != twScheduleLibrary) continue;

        if (((ToolTabStrip)tw.TabStrip).CaptionElement.Children[2].Children[4].GetType() != typeof(RadButtonElement))
        {
            ((ToolTabStrip)tw.TabStrip).CaptionElement.Children[2].Children.Insert(4, refreshButton);
        }
    }
}

Hi Telerik

Answering my own question after a look through the forum a bit harder. I just needed to set the docking type on the button

if (((ToolTabStrip)tw.TabStrip).CaptionElement.Children[2].Children[4].GetType() != typeof(RadButtonElement))
{
    DockLayoutPanel.SetDock(refreshButton, Telerik.WinControls.Layouts.Dock.Right);
    ((ToolTabStrip)tw.TabStrip).CaptionElement.Children[2].Children.Insert(4, refreshButton);
}
