Hi there,

I just stumbled across this post when searching for "Size" in WPF Docking. What I am trying to achieve is a component-oriented GUI with RadDocking at the heart. The user can start a number of components in the app, each of which is basically a Usercontrol/Viewmodel pair with some dependencies.

What I would like (not sure if it is similar to the original poster, but may be) is when I programmatically dock a component (I am just going for top, left, right, bottom or float, nothing fancy) that the docked pane is the correct size to fit the usercontrol it hosts. For instance, I have one control that is just a search text box with autocomplete. That needs to be around 80 pixels high but the width can stretch to fit.

Is it possible to do anything like this?

Failing that, when I programmatically dock, how can I specifically set the size? I could at least put an attribute on my component views to specify their desired initial docking size.

The code I am using to programmitcally dock is:

// Create a split container and group and dock the pane at the specified position

// Note pane has already been created and hosts the component view/viewmodel

RadSplitContainer splitContainer = new RadSplitContainer { InitialPosition = dockState };

RadPaneGroup group = new RadPaneGroup();

splitContainer.Items.Add(group);

_dockManager.Items.Add(splitContainer);

group.AddItem(pane, dockPosition);
