How can I remove Header bar

[Casey]

On a few panes, I have 

CanFloat

 

="False" CanUserClose="False" CanUserPin="False"

 

On those, I don't want the Grey Header bar with the triangle on the right as it is useless.

How can I turn that off or hide it.


I've copied and pasted the xaml from here.

Hi Casey,

You can remove the header by changing the control template of the RadPaneGroup. If you just want to remove the menu (with the triangle icon) you could remove all the menu items from the MenuCommands collection of each RadPane control that doesn't need a menu.

Please, notice that if you decide to use the first approach you need to create a custom theme and to set it to the Docking control, because the pane groups are created dynamically when you drag and drop panes.

If you have further questions don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks

Editing the HeaderTemplate as you suggested has not worked for us yet.

When we create a copy of the Template using Blend, the template does not contain anything other than the primary control, and visual states, thus we are unable to actually override the pieces of the template.

We aren't sure which template contains the pin,close and docking options... It's the Header Grey bar with the black triangle that we are trying to hide.

 

We have the following choices for templates that contain headers: Bottom, Top, Left, Right, and DocumentHost. 

 

We did try setting the VisualState and that doesn’t seem to do anything either.

VisualStateManager.GoToState(LeftPaneControlGroup, "PaneHeaderHidden", false);

Hi Casey,

The the gray control that highlights when you focus the pane is called PaneHeader and the templates that contain this control are all the templates except DocumentHostTemplate.

If you have further questions, don't hesitate to ask.

We are not able to get into those templates.. We cannot edit them.

And just to make sure we are talking about the same thing.. See the attached picture showing what we want to hide.

Hi Casey,

Yes, this is the control I'm talking about. The attached project demonstrates how to remove this header from all pane groups in the Docking control.
