Document Host Tab Header

[Deven]

I have an application which is using Tab control extensively. The document host also shows up as Tab. I know it is to support multiple documents. however in our case we ahve just one document and I would like to get rid of the tab header, so that it does not look like a tab. Is there a way I can achieve this? Otherwise I would like to extend the header in a way that it takes the full width of the document, is this possible?

Thanks
Deven

Hello Deven,

Thank you for contacting us.

To remove the header of a Pane in the DocumentHost you will have to set the Visibility property of the Pane to Collapsed.

If you need further assistance please let us know.

I am using Prism. The main panel is where all the pages are loaded.

<radDock:RadSplitContainer>
                <radDock:RadPaneGroup>
                    <radDock:RadPane
                        x:Name="mainPanel"
                        Header="{Binding Title}"
                        CanUserClose="False"
                        CanUserPin="False"
                        CanFloat="False">
                        <Grid>
                            <ContentControl
                                x:Name="mainContent"
                                HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch"
                                VerticalContentAlignment="Stretch"
                                rgn:RegionManager.RegionName="ShellRegion_MainRegion"/>
                        </Grid>
                    </radDock:RadPane>
                </radDock:RadPaneGroup>

On load of Shell, this panel is moved to Document Host.

public Shell(IUnityContainer container,
            ShellViewModel model)
        {
            this.container = container;
            this.model = model;
            InitializeComponent();
            //register the region holder so navigation can resolve it
            container.RegisterInstance<ContentControl>(
                ShellConstants.ShellRegion_MainRegion,mainContent);

            this.Loaded += (s, e) =>
                {
                    this.DataContext = model;
                    mainPanel.MoveToDocumentHost();
                };
        }

Which results in to (see attachment). I would like to hide the higlighted header. I tried setting Panel header visibility of the main panel, but that did not work.

Thanks
Deven

Sorry missed the attachment. Actually the attachment facility is not working properly.

Hi Deven,

Thank you for the code snippets.

To remove the Tab from the DocumentPane you will have to set the Visibility property of the DocumentPane to Collapsed. For example, like so:

public Shell(IUnityContainer container,
            ShellViewModel model)
        {
            this.container = container;
            this.model = model;
            InitializeComponent();
            //register the region holder so navigation can resolve it
            container.RegisterInstance<ContentControl>(
                ShellConstants.ShellRegion_MainRegion,mainContent);

            this.Loaded += (s, e) =>
                {
                    this.DataContext = model;
                    mainPanel.MoveToDocumentHost();
                    mainPanel.Visibility = System.Windows.Visibility.Collapsed;
                };
        }

Hope this helps.
