Customise Dock Header

[Mark Davison]

Hi,

Is there anyway to add cutom html to the Dock Header bar? I need to be able to show the dock heading, a custom combo box then the command buttons.

Regards,

Mark

Hello Mark Davison,

If by the header you mean the titlebar, then this is possible to achieve by using the <titlebartemplate> template in a manner like this:

              <telerik:raddock id="RadDock1" runat="server" height="280px" width="200px" >
                    <titlebartemplate>
                    <asp:label runat="server" id="TitleLabel" text="Dock1" />
                    <asp:dropdownlist runat="server" id="customCombo1" />
                   
                    </titlebartemplate>
                </telerik:raddock>

Hope this helps.

Best wishes,

Hi,

I think that will do what I want. How can I create this dynamically from the code behind file? I am creating the docks based on user configuration so I am doing it all manually. I cannot see how to create this template through code.

Mark

Hi Mark Davison,

You can access the TitlebarContainer server-side and add controls to it in a manner similar to the following:

        Label label1 = new Label();
        label1.ID = "Label1";
        label1.Text = "New title";
        RadDock1.TitlebarContainer.Controls.Add(label1);

You can also use the RadDock's TitlebarTemplate. Let me know if you need more help with this question.

Kind regards,

I am using a docking object inside a docking zone. I want to add custom controls in header or titlebar of the docking object. I tried to use the following code you provided. But there is no such property (titlebartemplate) for RadDockableObject. Please tell me what to do

<titlebartemplate>
                    <asp:label runat="server" id="TitleLabel" text="Dock1" />
                    <asp:dropdownlist runat="server" id="customCombo1" />
                   
</titlebartemplate>

Hello Nonu,

The code provided in this thread is for RadDock Prometheus. Declaratively, you can achieve the same result this way:

                <telerik:raddock id="RadDock1" runat="server" height="280px" width="200px"
                    dockmode="Default">
                    <titlebartemplate>
                        <asp:label id="TitleLabel" runat="server" text="Dock1"></asp:label>
                    </titlebartemplate>
                </telerik:raddock>

But from your post as you mention RadDockableObject I am left with the impression that you want to achieve this with the "regular" RadDock - unfortunately, this is not possible.

Can I use the titlebartemplate to add a radcalendar and use it to feed a date to a user control in the dock? Can you provide a sample?

[ashish]

Thanks for responding so fast, but are you sure this is the right sample? I do not see any thing added to the titlebar leave alone a radcalendar. 

Thanks
