Docking Resizing Issue with RadHtmlPlaceholder

[steve]

I have silverlight app that i have split into two. One side for a menu and the other side to display results in a RadHtmlPlaceholder that is added programatically to the StackPanel ResultsPage. Everything is working as expected. Except; if you resize the SplitContainer by draging the resizer over the RadHtmlPlaceholder, the resizer becomes stuck and the SplitContainer wont resize. This probably due to the fact that i am trying to resize into a space on the host page as I think the RadHtmlPlaceholder is just a iFrame on the host page that the silverlight app allows to show through due to the windowless property being set.

Is there any way to stop this behaviour. Or is it a bug that telerik allready knows about...

Hello Stephen,

As you correctly noticed this is not working, because the Silverlight doesn't get the mouse events when the mouse is on the IFrame. Unfortunately this cannot be fixed. You could work it around by setting the ShowResizePreview property of the Docking control to false.

Hope this helps.

This work around works ok except there seems to be a slight problem if you move the mouse too fast into the RadHtmlPlaceholder area it seems to lose the grip.  Is there a way to capture the mouse like when you do Drag and Drop?

Hi Dave,

Drag and drop also won't work in this scenario, because even when the mouse is captured, the mouse events are stolen by the IFrame.
