Docking pane artifacts or tab item artifacts?

[Charles Bates]

Hello,
Not sure if this is a docking issue or RadTabControl issue.

We have:
RadDocking.DocumentHost
  RadSplitContainer
    RadPaneGroup
    RadPaneGroup

Each RadPaneGroup contains 1 RadPane.
Each RadPane contains 1 RadTabControl.
Each RadTabControl contains one or more RadTabItems.

Just above the RadPaneGroups are what look like Tab headers -- very small, only  a few pixels wide and high.
What are they, and how do we get rid of them?
(In addition, the two RadPaneGroups, when side-by-side, have slightly different heights.)
See attached...
Thanks,
C. Bates

Hello Charles Bates,

Thank you for contacting Telerik Support.

What you see above the RadPaneGroups could be RadPane and/or RadTabItem. You just need to set their Visibility property to Collapsed to hide them.

I hope this information helps. I will be glad to assist you further.

Kind regards,
George

Hello,

Thanks for the reply.

When creating the RadPanes, we have 

    _leftPane.PaneHeaderVisibility = Visibility.Collapsed;

However, this doesn't remove the small items above the RadPanes.

We are using the TabItem headers; they are set to show along the bottom:

    _leftTabControl.TabStripPlacement = Telerik.Windows.Controls.Dock.Bottom;

What am I missing?

Thanks,

C. Bates

Hello Charles Bates,

Thank you for getting back to me.

You can try setting Visibility property to Collapsed instead of using PaneHeaderVisibility.

_leftPane.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;

I hope this information helps. 

All the best,

Thanks.
Not at all obvious or intuitive, but that seems solve my problem...
