I'm trying to get an app set up to allow me to drag into a dockPanel, and programatically create a Dock Pane based on the contents of the payload.
Is there a working example for this? I can't seem to get the logic right for this. Thank for the help.

Hello John,
I am attaching an example that demonstrates how to drag items from a ListBox and drop them in a RadPaneGroup. Have a look at the source code and if something is unclear, let us know.

Thanks for the code example, it definatly started me on the right track!
I have one mroe question thought... what should I do when no groups are present? Could I have a 0% opacity pane that went away once I dropped something into it; leaving the other item there?
I also noticed that you cannot drag onto the Panel itself; is this not doable with the current set of controls. Whenever I try to get it working it just seems to break horribly.
Thanks again =)

Hello John,
When no RadSplitContainer or RadPaneGroup is present, you have to add them by yourself from the code-behind. From the previous example, I removed the RadSplitContainer defined in XAML and modified my OnDropInfo event handler to look like the following:
From the code snippet above you can see that when no split container is present, then one has to be created in order to host the RadPane. I am attaching the updated example. Give it a try and let me know if you have additional questions.

private void OnDropInfo(object sender, DragDropEventArgs e) |

if (e.Options.Status == DragStatus.DropComplete && destination is Telerik.Windows.Controls.RadDocking) |
{ |
Telerik.Windows.Controls.RadSplitContainer splitContainer = new Telerik.Windows.Controls.RadSplitContainer(); |
Telerik.Windows.Controls.DockingPanel.SetInitialSize(splitContainer, new Size(400, 200)); |
splitContainer.MaxWidth = 679; |
splitContainer.InitialPosition = Telerik.Windows.Controls.Docking.DockState.DockedRight; |
(destination as Telerik.Windows.Controls.RadDocking).Items.Add(splitContainer); |
Telerik.Windows.Controls.RadPaneGroup paneGroup = new Telerik.Windows.Controls.RadPaneGroup(); |
splitContainer.Items.Add(paneGroup); |
Telerik.Windows.Controls.RadPane pane = new Telerik.Windows.Controls.RadPane(); |
pane.Header = (e.Options.Payload as DragDropOperation).Payload; |
paneGroup.Items.Add(pane); |
} |
if (e.Options.Status == DragStatus.DropComplete && destination is Telerik.Windows.Controls.RadPaneGroup) |
{ |
Telerik.Windows.Controls.RadPane pane = new Telerik.Windows.Controls.RadPane(); |
pane.Header = (e.Options.Payload as DragDropOperation).Payload; |

As of Feburary 2nd, 2010 this example no longer works. There seems to be an issue with setting the e.options.payload to sourceControl.DataContext as it appears that sourceControl.DataContext is now null.
Is there a fix for this?

Hello John Benson,
It seems that with the latest version the Docking control will apply a style to the controls in its DocumentHost. This interferes with the style for the ListBoxItems and breaks the example.
Wrapping the ListBox in a Grid solve the issue for me.
Does this work for you?
All the best,

Miroslav,
Can you show the example in XAML what you mean by wrapping the Listbox in a grid. I not sure what that has to do with styles that are applied to contents of the DocumentHost. Thanks!
