Docking and Ribbon

[Jurjen Ladenius]

Hi,

I can't find the solution to the following problems: 

I have a RadDocking and a Ribbon on my form, and what I'd like to achieve is :

• I only want floating and document windows, I can find an article on how to remove the documenthost, but I would very much like similar behaviour to VS2010, where I can't drag a code window outside of the documenthost unless it's floating;
• Whenever a pane (floating or docked) is selected, I want the ribbon to show a contextual tab, based on the type of content. I know how to create a contextual tab, but I do have a problem finding the right docking related event to find the selected pane.

Can anyone tell me how to achieve these goals?

Kind regards,

Jurjen

Hello Jurjen,

 The first thing you need is not supported out-of-the-box, but you could achieve it using constraints on the compass. For more information about how to achieve this you could refer to the following article: http://www.telerik.com/help/wpf/raddocking-how-to-implement-conditional-docking.html.

To implement the second thing you need a feature that we are currently working on - tracking of Active pane. You could try to track it yourself using the RadTabControl.SelectionChangedEvent routed event to track selection changes in the PaneGroups and the currently focused PaneGroup.

Hope this helps!
