Command on RadPane HeaderCloseButton

[Andrew Thompson]

Hi there, 

I have a quick request - I'd like to bind a custom Command to a HeaderCloseButton on a pane docked on the left, top, bottom or top (ie: not as document). Any ideas how to do this?

I have achieved the same for tabbed documents by overriding the Pane HeaderTemplate as follows:

<!-- Define the style for component item headers -->
            <DataTemplate x:Key="PaneHeaderTemplate">
                <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" VerticalAlignment="Center">
                    <TextBlock Text="{Binding ComponentDisplayName}"/>
                    <Button Command="{Binding CloseComponentCommand}" Style="{StaticResource ReportButtonStyle}"
                            Margin="10,0,0,0" ToolTipService.ToolTip="Remove Component">
                        <Button.Content>
                            <Path Data="M0,0 L6,6 M6, 0 L0,6" Stroke="Black" StrokeThickness="1"
                                    SnapsToDevicePixels="True" />
                        </Button.Content>
                    </Button>
                </StackPanel>
            </DataTemplate>

However modifying the TitleTemplate only changes the title area, not buttons on the pane. 

Any ideas? 

thanks!

Hello Andrew Thompson,

The buttons are part of the PaneGroup's Header control. The header (that contains the selected pane's title) is presented in left of these buttons so you can not access them through the pane header's data template. You can however edit the RadPaneGroup and modify the header in the template using Blend. You will generate a lot of XAML that way. Also I can send you the RadDocking xaml styles file if it would be of any help.

All the best,

Hi Pana, 

Thanks for your response - I decided to resolve the issue with an event handler. Too much work just to keep MVVM intact!

Best regards,
