How can I find the document in DocumentHost programmatically ?

[Massimiliano Sorce]

The RadDocking control has properties and methods for working with Tabbed Documents quickly ?
Close/Open etc... Document programmatically.
I would like to perform a LINQ query (or for/foreach) to find the document that implements a particular interface, this is possible?

Example :

private IDebugEditor GetDebugEditor() {
    var res = from w in radDocking.Documents where w is IDebugEditor select w;
    if (res.Count() != 0)
        return (IDebugEditor)res.First();
    return null;
}

Hello Massimiliano,

 There is no particular functionality for the DocumentPanes, but you could get all the panes and filter only the panes in the DocumentHost. Here is an example:

dock.Panes.Where(pane => pane.IsInDocumentHost)

will yield all the panes in the DocumentHost.

Hope this helps.

Hi Miroslav,

thanks for you help, how do I remove a pane at runtime ?

To add I used this method : (DebugEditor is a RadDocumentPane)

((DocumentHost)dock.DocumentHost).AddPane(new DebugEditor());

it's correct ?

Hello Massimiliano,

 Is this code working correctly? In my opinion the DocumentHost property is expected to of type RadSplitContainer, so it should always throw InvalidCastException. (If you added a DocumentHost control into the DocumentHost property, you shouldn't do that - the Docking control has one in its ControlTemplate and it expects a SplitContainer in this property).

You might us the following code for adding panes:

var dhContainer = dock.DocumentHost as RadSplitContainer;
var documentHost = dhContainer.Parent as DocumentHost;
documentHost.AddPane(new DebugEditor());

You could use the method of the RadPane RemoveFromParent. It removes the pane wherever it is at this time.

Hope this helps.

All the best,

Hi Miroslav,

I tried using your code but I get this ArgumentException :

This pane cannot be removed from parent, because it doesn't have one! 

then I thought it was wrong inherit the RadPane and I tried to add a new RadPane

var dhContainer = dockSite.DocumentHost as RadSplitContainer;
var documentHost = dhContainer.Parent as DocumentHost;
//documentHost.AddPane(new DebugEditor());
documentHost.AddPane(new RadPane());

but has the same ArgumentException.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Massimiliano,

 I'm sorry, but the AddPane method of the DocumentHost is meant to be used when you need to move a pane from one place to the DocumentHost - not for adding new panes. I would suggest you to put a Name to a group in the DocumetHost and add the panes to it. Please refer to the attached example project.

Hi Miroslav,

thanks for your example, but I still have a problem :-)

I have a control that inherits from RadDocumentPane or RadPane and I have been added in the Docking when saving and loading the layout, the docking throwing an error.

Any idea to solve the problem ?

Yours sincerely,

Massimiliano

Hi Massimiliano,

Set the SerializationTag attached property to all the panes should resolve the problem. If it doesn't help, please provide us with a sample project that reproduces the problem - this will help us find out what the problem is and provide you an appropriate solution.
