Freezing the Layout?

[Jens]

Is it possible to "freeze" the layout, meaning disabling the ability to
- move panes around?
- resize panes?
- disable drop-down menu in pane header?

Regards
Jens

Hello Jens,

Yes it is possible. What you need is to set these properties that are exposed by the RadPane.

CanDockInDocumentHost="False"
CanFloat="False"
CanUserClose="False"

Also, to remove the MenuItems in RadPane you can use the code bellow:

RadPane.MenuCommands.Clear();

That's great, thank you!
Is it also possible to disable the resizing of panes?

Thanks.

Hi Jens,

You can use MaxWidth, MinWidth and  MaxHeight , MinHeight properties of the RadSplitContainer to prevent resizing the panes.

Hey Kaloyan,

this really isn't an option at all, because it would zero the space between panes resulting in a badly styled UI.
Don't you have another solution for this?

Thanks.

Hello Jens,

The current version of the RadDocking control doesn't expose such a functionality to automatically freeze the whole layout.

You could potentially create a custom style for the RadSplitContainer and remove the RadGridResizer. This would, in theory, prevent the RadSplitContainer from being resized.

Hello Jon,

This is possible solution.
