Docking inside Dockin

[Alan]

Hi,

I have got question about Docking control for WPF. I am using Docking inside Docking (AllowUnsafeMode set to true). And in the inside Docking I add RadPane,and if I Pinned this RadPane the pinned window is in outsie Dockside, why ? Is this a bug or is this in purpose ?

Hi Alan,

Placing a Docking control in another Docking control is not supported and the strange behavior comes from this unsupported scenario. Usually it throws an exception when you place a Docking control in another Docking control, but as you set the AllowUnsafeMode property to true it doesn't do that.

Hi,

Are you planning to fix this issuein the nearest future ? For example DivElements and they SandDock supports thistype of behavior.

Hi Alan,

We considered this (placing docking control in another docking control) as a bad practice and this is the reason why we disabled it. If this scenario is important for you we could try to make the panes unpin at the correct AutoHideArea, but we cannot guarantee that you will not hit other issues using this unsupported scenario.

Hi Alan,

We've decided to start fixing the issues that come from this scenario and officially enable it. Unfortunately I cannot give you a time frame for fixing this, because it may cause additional problems. I will update you when we fix it.

Hello,

is this issue fixed?

I´m trying to use a RadDocking in a RadDocking in the UnsafeMode, but it doesn´t work correct. When undocking a control and it goes in the free floating mode a script error occurs.

To the background, why I want to do this:

Our application has a RadDocking a basic layout where the user can choose control and dock them. Also different layouts could be loaeded. Now I need to have project-dependant layouts. The basic project tool has a RadDocking with different docked usercontrols (project overview, project details, ....) and now I want to show complete different layouts depending on the project.

So I made a usercontrol with a RadDocking, which is places in the basic RadDocking layout.

Thomas L.
