How to turn off resizing of floating window?

[Tore]

Hello, I am trying to restrict a floating window to be resized manually. In addition, I want a user control to fill out the space it needs and have the floating window adjust to its content. Is this possible?

My XAML:

   <telerik:RadDocking x:Name="radDocking" Height="1" Width="1">                 <telerik:RadSplitContainer InitialPosition="FloatingOnly" telerik:RadDocking.FloatingLocation="100,400"                                                                                telerik:RadDocking.FloatingSize="800,500">                     <telerik:RadPaneGroup>                         <telerik:RadPane x:Name="ScheduleControlPane" CanUserPin="False"  Header="Kontroll" Loaded="ScheduleControlPane_Loaded"                                                          IsHidden="{Binding Path=IsChecked, ElementName=ScheduleControlToggleButton, Converter={StaticResource invertedBooleanConverter}, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged, Mode=TwoWay}">                             <controlviews:ControlView HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" DataContext="{Binding ControlViewModel}"></controlviews:ControlView>                         </telerik:RadPane>                     </telerik:RadPaneGroup>                 </telerik:RadSplitContainer>             </telerik:RadDocking>

Hello Tore,

What we could suggest you in order to achieve the desired is to handle the PaneStateChanged event of RadDocking. As soon as the Pane becomes floating the event will be triggered. Inside it you could get the ToolWindow (when the Pane becomes floating it is placed inside ToolWindow) and set the ResizeMode property to NoResize - thus resizing should not be allowed manually. As for the size of the ToolWindow you could get the UserControl (FindChildOfType is one possible approach) and set the Width and Height property of the ToolWindow with the size of the user control as demonstrated below:

private void RadDocking_PaneStateChange(object sender, Telerik.Windows.RadRoutedEventArgs e)
{
    var pane = e.OriginalSource as RadPane;

    if (pane != null && pane.IsFloating)
    {
        var toolWindow = pane.GetParentToolWindow();

        if (toolWindow != null)
        {
            toolWindow.ResizeMode = System.Windows.ResizeMode.NoResize;
            //Find the needed UserControl
            var userControl = toolWindow.FindChildByType<CustomUserControl>() as CustomUserControl;

            if (userControl != null)
            {
                //Ser the desired Width and Height
                toolWindow.Width = userControl.ActualWidth;
                toolWindow.Height = userControl.ActualHeight;
            }
        }
    }
}

Hope this helps.
