Detect Docking Pane in PaneGroup

[IT Department]

Hello!

  I'm trying to detect when a pane (radPane1) is docked into a PaneGroup with another pane (radPane2).  I thought I could do this:

        private void radDocking1_PaneStateChange(object sender, Telerik.Windows.RadRoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            var somePane = e.OriginalSource as RadPane;
            if (somePane == radPane1 && !somePane.IsFloating && radPane1.PaneGroup == radPane2.PaneGroup)
                   HandleDockEvent();
        }

...but it seems the PaneGroup is not set at this point in time, and hence that comparison fails.  How can I do this?

Hello,

I am afraid this cannot be achieved with the current implementation of the Docking control. When the panes are docked a new RadPaneGroup is generated and the pane is put in it. That means that the pane that is docked actually is not in the same group as the one you want to find.

Hope this information helps.

Okay, then perhaps you can address the issue I am having that provoked the question.  I would like a tab that is floated and then redocked to appear in the same order as it was originally.  By default, it always appends at the end.Can this be done?

Docked:
_/ 1 \_/ 2 \_/ 3 \

Floating:
_/ 1 \_/ 3 \

    _/ 2 \_
   |_____|

Redocked:  What Happens:
_/ 1 \_/ 3 \_/ 2 \

Redocked: What I Would Like To Happen:
_/ 1 \_/ 2 \_/ 3 \

Hi,

Currently, this is not supported by the RadDocking control. We will consider adding such feature in one of our future release if we receive enough clients' requests.

All the best,
