[Solved] Dock as a splitter (hide header DocumentHost pane)

[Erik]

Hi,

I've seen a lot of posts on it, but all older and some refereing to new additions in coming releases.

I would like to use the RadDocking as a splitter (there is none in Silverlight, is that right? used to asp.net so...)

I've could create on, but have some issues with it. In my scenario it must be a left docked pane with a content pane that fills the rest of the screen.

What I've got you can see in the image attached. I used a document host to make the content pane. I could not find how to do it differently (could only initially dock left, right, top, bottom or float) this may be a normal pane, I don't mind. Thing is that the header (and closing and so on) must be hidden and I do not want the border. I tried to hide the header with "PaneHeaderVisibility", but has no effect. Also setting border props has no effect.

Here's some XAML:

....

<telerik:RadDocking x:Name="TheDock">

    <!--DocumentHost-->

    <telerik:RadDocking.DocumentHost>

        <telerik:RadSplitContainer>

            <telerik:RadPaneGroup>

                <telerik:RadPane CanFloat="False" BorderBrush="Red" BorderThickness="1" CanUserClose="False" CanUserPin="False"
                                        PaneHeaderVisibility="Collapsed" >

                    <telerik:RadPane.Content>

                        <TextBlock TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="This pane cannot be dragged, because it has its property CanFloat set 'False'." />

                    </telerik:RadPane.Content>

                </telerik:RadPane>

            </telerik:RadPaneGroup>

        </telerik:RadSplitContainer>

    </telerik:RadDocking.DocumentHost>

 

    <telerik:RadSplitContainer Orientation="Vertical" telerik:DockingPanel.InitialSize="270,150" MaxWidth="600" Name="LeftDesignNavigationContainer" InitialPosition="DockedLeft">

        <telerik:RadPaneGroup x:Name="DesignNavigation">

            <telerik:RadPane Header="Design Navigation" CanFloat="False" CanUserClose="False" CanUserPin="False" CanDockInDocumentHost="False" ContextMenuTemplate="{x:Null}">

                <StackPanel>

                    <ListBox x:Name="leftListBox">

.....

How can I implement this splitting with sizing?

Tanks in advance for any pointers,

Erik

Well, stumbled on this:
http://www.telerik.com/help/silverlight/raddocking-how-to-remove-the-header-of-the-radpane.html 
You can hide pane headers and the RadDocumentPane tab parts.

But my intention was a splitter with in the content pane a raddock. This does give a "flicker" but then a empty screen. 

Is it not possible to place a raddock in a radpane/RadDocumentPane (of an other dock) ?

Hello,

I am not sure I completely understand your scenario, but if the desired functionality is like on the attached image I would suggest you to place to RadPaneGroups into the RadSplitContainer of your DocumentHost. Here is sample code:

<telerik:RadDocking.DocumentHost>
    <telerik:RadSplitContainer>
        <telerik:RadPaneGroup>
            <telerik:RadPane CanFloat="False" BorderBrush="Red" BorderThickness="1" CanUserPin="False"
                            Visibility="Collapsed"
                             CanUserClose="False">
                <telerik:RadPane.Content>
                    <TextBlock TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="This pane cannot be dragged, because it has its property CanFloat set 'False'." />
                </telerik:RadPane.Content>
            </telerik:RadPane>
        </telerik:RadPaneGroup>
        <telerik:RadPaneGroup>
            <telerik:RadPane CanFloat="False" BorderBrush="Red" BorderThickness="1" CanUserPin="False"
                            Visibility="Collapsed"
                             CanUserClose="False">
                <telerik:RadPane.Content>
                    <TextBlock TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="This pane cannot be dragged, because it has its property CanFloat set 'False'." />
                </telerik:RadPane.Content>
            </telerik:RadPane>
        </telerik:RadPaneGroup>
    </telerik:RadSplitContainer>
</telerik:RadDocking.DocumentHost>

If this is not what you are trying the achieve, could you please give more information?
