How to hide the leftautohide panel

[Sherry]

Hi,

I do not know how to explain this better, but I have taken a screenshot and I want to hide the red marked part of it.

Could someone please help on how to do it?

Hi Sherry,

This is the AutoHideArea. Whenever you unpin a RadPane, it will go in one of those areas. You can hide them most easily by setting Visibility to Collapsed:

<Window.Resources>
  <Style TargetType="telerik:AutoHideArea" BasedOn="{StaticResource AutoHideAreaStyle}">
    <Setter Property="Visibility" Value="Collapsed"/>
  </Style>
</Window.Resources>

Or replace its template. Note that its style has several setters for a template, depending on which side this area is positioned - Tempalte, TopTemplate, BottomTemplate, LeftTemplate, RightTemplate. So in case you want them all gone - just collapse its visibility as proposed above.

Thanks Martin.

I tried your first suggestion and that did not work.

Here is the code which I tried. First I get an exception then I removed the based on style property then it launched the app but when I click the button to show the pane then pane is not visible anymore.

Could you help please?

Also I have tried by editing the RadDocking style. Here is the code https://gist.github.com/sherry-ummen/e43e5069e27aa57a2b4c8b01ccbe5b6d

One thing I was trying was to make the MaxWidth of the ItemsPresenter to be 0 . But the problem was that my modification to the IntemsPresenter is not visible when I inspect the app using snoop wpf. Even if I change the name of the ItemsPresenter to be ItemsPresenterElementTest is still not reflected.

And I am now lost whats happening.

 

Thanks

Hi Sherry,

The reason why the changes does not apply is most probably because the AutoHideArea does not get the style. Upon reviewing your project I notice that you use XAML-included assemblies which means you would need to set the style for the AutoHideArea directly to its instantces in the ControlTemplate of the RadDocking. 

I could suggest you change to the noXAML assemblies in order to use the Implicit Styles theming mechanism, which would allow you the setting of global styles for controls, components, etc, in the way I proposed, as well as allow you to use the newer themes we ship. Note that you would need to merge the dictionaries for a chosen theme as shown in the article in order for your controls to have a visual appearance.

If you do not want to use that and stick with the XAML-included assemblies, then you would need to extract the style of the RadDocking and set in it for each of the AutoHideAreas your custom style. And then set explicitly to the RadDocking that new Style and ControlTemplate.

Hi Martin,

I am using your second proposal where I extracted the style using visual studio and then modified it, but the one I extracted does not reflect with my changes.

So I am still confused whats happening.

HI Martin, just to let you know. I got it working by overriding the LeftTemplate .
