Changing DockSate Programatically

[Brian Henry]

I am having trouble setting the DockState of a RadSplitContainer in code.

 

 

<telerikDocking:RadDocking x:Name="docking" HasDocumentHost="False" Grid.Row="1">

 

 

 

    <telerikDocking:RadSplitContainer x:Name="dockSplit" Orientation="Vertical" InitialPosition="{Binding DispatchSettings.DispatchIniPos, Mode=TwoWay}">

 

 

 

<telerikDocking:RadPaneGroup x:Name="groupPaneDispatch">

 

 

 

<telerikDocking:RadPane x:Name="paneDispatch" CanUserClose="False" CanUserPin="False" PaneHeaderVisibility="Collapsed">

When the user presses a button I want to toogle between DockedTop and DockedLeft as in the following button handler:

 

 

private void btnXyz_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

 

 

{
    if (cond)
    {
        RadDocking.SetDockState(dockSplit, Telerik.Windows.Controls.Docking.DockState.DockedLeft);

 

 

 

    }
    else
    {
        RadDocking.SetDockState(dockSplit, Telerik.Windows.Controls.Docking.DockState.DockedTop);

 

    }
}
Unfortunately, this code does ot work unless I put it on the constructor.  How can I set the DockState programatically?

Thank you,
Brian

Hi Brian,

 The InitialPosition property is used only for initially positioning the SplitContainer. If you want to set its placement after initialization you should use the RadDocking.DockState attached property.

Hope this helps!

Could you please provide me with an example where you set the docstate programatically after the application has loaded.

Thanks,
Brian

Hi Brian Henry,

Thank you for your reply.

You can use the following code-snippet in order to work-around the issue:

dockSplit.SetValue(RadDocking.DockStateProperty, Telerik.Windows.Controls.Docking.DockState.DockedTop);
dockSplit.ClearValue(FrameworkElement.WidthProperty);
dockSplit.ClearValue(FrameworkElement.HeightProperty);

Hope this helps.

If you have further questions please let us know.

Sincerely yours,
