Dynamic Dock Zone Layout

[Stuart]

Over the last few weeks i have been working on a dynamic CMS that is widget based , and a thing that has been puzelign me for a while was how to make the layout of the zone orientation dynamic so a single page can have diferent orientation for docking zones.

There is an example of the method I use to retireve my zones in a dynamic layout style

 /// <summary>
        /// Get a Rad Tab Layout 1
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="zone1"></param>
        /// <param name="zone2"></param>
        /// <param name="zone3"></param>
        /// <param name="zone4"></param>
        /// <param name="zone5"></param>
        /// <returns>A table with RadDockZones oriented 1 Cell row, then 3 column rows then a single cell row</returns>
        public static Table GetLayout1(RadDockZone zone1, RadDockZone zone2, RadDockZone zone3, RadDockZone zone4, RadDockZone zone5)
        {
            Table table = new Table();
            TableRow tr1 = new TableRow();
            TableRow tr2 = new TableRow();
            TableRow tr3 = new TableRow();

            TableCell td1 = new TableCell();
            TableCell td2 = new TableCell();
            TableCell td3 = new TableCell();
            TableCell td4 = new TableCell();
            TableCell td5 = new TableCell();

            td1.Controls.Add(zone1);
            td2.Controls.Add(zone2);
            td3.Controls.Add(zone3);
            td4.Controls.Add(zone4);
            td5.Controls.Add(zone5);


            tr1.Controls.Add(td1);
            tr2.Controls.Add(td2);
            tr2.Controls.Add(td3);
            tr2.Controls.Add(td4);
            tr3.Controls.Add(td5);

            table.Controls.Add(tr1);
            table.Controls.Add(tr2);
            table.Controls.Add(tr3);

            table.CellPadding = 0;
            table.CellSpacing = 0;
            table.Style["width"] = "100%";

            td1.ColumnSpan = 3;
            td5.ColumnSpan = 3;

            return table;
        }

As you can see applying more methods with diferent implementations of the table control the possibilities are endless.
