collapsible panel slow closing

[Roger]

Hi

I have a form with 6 collapsible panels on it... if the user doesn't not have confidentiality access and the information is confidential then I want 5 of the panels to close and be disabled..so the user can only view 1 panel. Unfortunately the form loads with data before the panels close (even though the pane.collapse is called before the data load event...so the user can see the data from a confidential section...even if briefly.

Can you think of a way to stop this so that no confidential data can be viewed?

Thanks

Hello Roger,

Thank you for writing.

You can consider setting the AnimationFrames property of the control to 1. This property determines the speed with which the animation is executed.

public RadForm1()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    this.radCollapsiblePanel1.AnimationFrames = 1;
    this.radCollapsiblePanel1.IsExpanded = false;
    this.radCollapsiblePanel1.Enabled = false;

}

Additionally, you may also consider not populating with data the controls located in the collapsible panels which are not enabled.

I hope this helps. Should you have further questions please do not hesitate to write back.

Hi Hristo,

thanks for that setting the proprty to 1 worked...didn't know it existed till you mentioned it. Also controls are databound so change automatically...I did change the data after the collapse call but the duration was too slow..your suggestion fixed it.

 

Thanks
