Is it possible of using Splitter in this way?

[roger]

Hi friends,

I have a special case in which I have a RadSplitter in my master page and inside the splitter, I have to put a ContentPlaceHolder NOT a RadPane directly. So in my content page which using my master page, I will fill out the ContentPlaceHolder  with my user control which contains a RadPane and some simple .net controls inside the RadPane. I think this should work but actually after the page loading, the HTML Table rendered by the RadSplitter is empty (no JavaScript error occurred).

can someone help me with this? or having a workaround?
very appreciate!

thanks,
Roger

Hi Support Team,

This is kind of urgent according to our project, so please help us. if you need code example, i can provide it.

thanks in advance,

Hi Roger,

By design the only direct children of a RadSplitter could be only RadPanes and RadSplitBars, so I am afraid the answer to your question is "No".

In order to achieve the desired scenario, you will need to put the place holder inside the RadPane, instead of placing it directly in the Splitter. For example:

<telerik:RadSplitter ID="RadSplitter1" runat="server" Height="100%" Width="100%" Orientation="Horizontal">
    <telerik:RadPane ID="RadPane1" runat="server" Height="200px"></telerik:RadPane>
    <telerik:RadPane ID="RadPane2" runat="server">
        <asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="body" runat="server" />
    </telerik:RadPane>
</telerik:RadSplitter>

Come to that, could you provide more details on why do you need to place the RadPane inside the content page so we could possibly suggest you another approach to achieve the desired functionality?

Hi Veselina,

Thanks for your response and code example!

The purpose we want to achieve here is that the RadSplitter with the ContentPlaceHolder in our master page actually is a place holder (i.e. side bar) in which we can dynamically add RadPanes (each RadPane contains different widget) into the RadSplitter and the number of RadPanes will be decided at run-time based on some business logics, so we can't just pre-define how many RadPanes should be inside the RadSplitter in our master page.

Let me know if it's unclear to you.

thanks for help,
Roger

Hi Roger,

Thank you for the explanation.

In such case, I would suggest you to implement a nested Splitters scenario, first adding a nested Splitter content page. In this case you will be able to add RadPanes to this additional Splitter from your contain page, keeping the proper configuration of the control.

Please, just note that each Splitter have to contain at least two RadPanes in order to behave properly.

Kind regards,

Hi Veselina,

Thank you very much for your suggestion.

We will discuss with your suggested solution to see it's durable in our project to always have at least two RadPanes in each Splitter.
Very appreciate your support!

thanks,
Roger
