Cannot re-attach a floating window to the correct RadPaneGroup

[Nick Polyak]

I have a RadPane blocking the correct compass, so instead of docking to a higher level, my window becomes a peer to the RadPane within the RadPane to which I want to dock.

Please help.

Hi Miroslav,

here is my XAML code:

        <radDock:RadDocking x:Name="MyRadDocking">
            <radDock:RadSplitContainer InitialPosition="DockedTop">
                <radDock:RadPaneGroup>
                    <radDock:RadPane
                        Header="Pane1">
                        <radDock:RadSplitContainer
                            InitialPosition="DockedTop">
                            <radDock:RadPaneGroup>
                                <radDock:RadPane
                                    Header="SubPane1" />
                                <radDock:RadPane
                                    Header="SubPane2" />
                            </radDock:RadPaneGroup>
                        </radDock:RadSplitContainer>
                    </radDock:RadPane>
                    <radDock:RadPane
                        Header="Pane2" />
                </radDock:RadPaneGroup>
            </radDock:RadSplitContainer>
        </radDock:RadDocking>

You can see that Pane1 contains dockable "sub-panes": SubPane1 and SubPane2.

I drag Pane2 out so that it becomes a floating window. Then I try to put it back to become a tabbed pane on the same level as Pane1 (just as it used to be). I cannot do it, I can only put it together with SubPane1 and SubPane2. You can try it yourself. 

My question is - is there any workaround to put Pane2 back together with Pane1.

Thanks

Nick

Hi Nick,

 What you are trying to do is not supported - you shouldn't put split containers in the panes. What you could do is to put split containers in the docking control or in other split containers, pane groups in split containers and panes in the groups. The content of the pane couldn't by any of the Docking control parts including the Docking control itself

Hi Miroslav,

then how do I support the layout as in the above example?

Hello Nick,

 You cannot achieve this with the Docking control. I would suggest you to use a TabControl and in one of the tabs you may put the content, meant to be placed in the pane with header Pane 2 and in the other tab - you might place a Docking control, a SplitContainer, Group and two Panes.
