Customize header RadSplitContainer

[Gerard]

 

Hi,

I've a floating RadSplitContainer (labeled as B in the photo ) and I need to customize it to make it looks like the panel A, hide the close button, blue background on header, thickness border to 1px... I've tried with sytlesheets and templates but I cannot make it possible.

 

Code RadDocking:

 

<telerik:RadDocking>
    <telerik:RadSplitContainer telerik:RadDocking.FloatingLocation="500,50"  InitialPosition="FloatingDockable">
        <telerik:RadPaneGroup>
            <telerik:RadPane x:Name="TooltipHeader" CanDockInDocumentHost="False" CanUserClose="False">
                <StackPanel x:Name="TooltipFloat">

                </StackPanel>
            </telerik:RadPane>
        </telerik:RadPaneGroup>
    </telerik:RadSplitContainer>
</telerik:RadDocking>

 

Regards,

Gerard.

Hi Gerard,

You need to modify the Control template of ToolWindow style in order to achieve the desired approach.
The template should look like the code snippet below:

<Style TargetType="telerik:ToolWindow">
    <Setter Property="Template">
        <Setter.Value>
            <ControlTemplate TargetType="telerik:ToolWindow">
                <Grid x:Name="VisualRoot">
                    <Border x:Name="Border" BorderThickness="1" BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
                        <Grid>
                            <Grid.RowDefinitions>
                                <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
                                <RowDefinition Height="*"/>
                            </Grid.RowDefinitions>
                            <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                                <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
                                <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
                            </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                            <Border x:Name="HeaderElement" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Padding="3 1" Background="LightBlue" Height="16" BorderThickness="0 0 0 1" BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}">
                                <Border.InputBindings>
                                    <MouseBinding Command="telerik:RadDockingCommands.PaneHeaderMenuOpen">
                                        <MouseBinding.Gesture>
                                            <MouseGesture MouseAction="RightClick"/>
                                        </MouseBinding.Gesture>
                                    </MouseBinding>
                                </Border.InputBindings>
                                <!--<ContentPresenter x:Name="Header" Content="{TemplateBinding Header}" ContentTemplate="{TemplateBinding HeaderTemplate}"/>-->
                            </Border>
                            <ContentPresenter x:Name="Content" Grid.Row="1" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Content="{TemplateBinding Content}" Margin="3"/>
                        </Grid>
                    </Border>
                </Grid>
            </ControlTemplate>
        </Setter.Value>
    </Setter>
</Style>

This will may ToolWindow to look like in the provided picture except the inner border which comes from the RadPaneGroup style. You can remove it like adding Style.Resources to the ToolWindow style like this:

<Style.Resources>
    <Style TargetType="telerik:RadPaneGroup">
        <Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Transparent" />
    </Style>
</Style.Resources>

but this is not recommended approach as if you have more than one pinned RadPanes it will not look good.

I hope this helps.

Hi Masha,

Thanks masha works perfect.

 

Another problem I have, is that I can not change the width and height of docpanel at runtime.

 

<telerik:RadDocking x:Name="RadDockingFloating">
            <telerik:RadSplitContainer x:Name="RadSplitContainer" telerik:RadDocking.FloatingSize="200,400" Visibility="Collapsed" telerik:RadDocking.FloatingLocation="500,50"  InitialPosition="FloatingOnly">
                <telerik:RadPaneGroup>
                    <telerik:RadPane IsHidden="True" ContextMenuTemplate="{x:Null}" x:Name="TooltipHeader" CanUserPin="False" CanUserClose="False">
                       ...
                    </telerik:RadPane>
                </telerik:RadPaneGroup>
            </telerik:RadSplitContainer>
</telerik:RadDocking>

 

I have proven with:

RadDocking.SetFloatingSize(RadSplitContainer, new Size(200, 200));
RadSplitContainer.SetValue(RadDocking.FloatingSizeProperty, new Size(200, 200));

and none works :(

Any ideas ?

Gerard.

Hello Gerard,

There are two types of sizing in the Docking control - relative and absolute. The absolute sizes are used for the size of the root-level SplitContainers and the relative are used for the items of the SplitContainers- because of that setting Width and Height to the panes will not affect the space their content occupies.

What we could suggest you to use is to set the RelativeSize of the PaneGroups in order to change the size as expected. The RelativeSize is used to proportionally divide the space occupied by PaneGroups - it is not like setting Width and Height to a particular value, but should work for your scenario. For more details you can check the following section from the PaneGroups article:
http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/wpf/controls/raddocking/features/pane-groups#set-relative-size-to-the-radpanegroup

Hope the provided information will be helpful for you.
