    Hi,

    How do I set the height of the tab that is shown when a toolwindow is autohidden?

    if I use

    radDock.AutoHideWindow(toolWindow);

    in the forms ctor the height of the tab is smaller than when doing it in the forms Load eventhandler or when the users manually autohides a toolwindow.

    Thanks,
    Brian

    Hello Mercell,

    Thank you for contacting us.

    Hiding a window in the constructor of the form results in a smaller AutohideTabStripElement because its items are not yet initialized. However, you can change the MinSize of these elements so they wont be smaller when created in the constructor. Please refer to the code snippet below:

    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        radDock1.AutoHideWindow(toolWindow);
        radDock1.GetAutoHideTabStrip(AutoHidePosition.Left).TabLayout.MinSize = new Size(30, 0);
        radDock1.GetAutoHideTab(toolWindow).MinSize = new Size(0,30);
        radDock1.Invalidate();
    }

    Note that the AutoHidePosition depends on where the toolWindow is docked.

    I hope you find this useful. Should you have any further questions, do not hesitate to ask.

    All the best,
