[Solved] Making the content of the dialogs stretch

[hwsoderlund]

I am using my own implementation of ISchedulerDialogHostFactory to make some of the dialog windows resizable. When I resize the "edit appointment" window, for example, the content of the window does not stretch properly. See the attached screen shot. Is there anything we can do to work around this ourselves, or would you have to adjust your template?

Hello Henrik,

What are the values of HorizontalContentAlignment and VerticalContentAlignment of RadWindow instance that you are using?
Also if you could provide us the template (for RadWindow) that you use it will be much easier to identify the problem.

The problem is exactly the same even when using the default OfficeBlack theme. See the attached screen shot. And I am pasting my current dialog factory code. I have tried setting the content alignment properties all over the place, but they do not seem to make a difference:

using System;
using System.Net;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;
using System.Windows.Documents;
using System.Windows.Ink;
using System.Windows.Input;
using System.Windows.Media;
using System.Windows.Media.Animation;
using System.Windows.Shapes;
using Telerik.Windows.Controls;
using GLS.Gui.Helper;

namespace GLS.Gui.Controls.Scheduling
{
    internal class GLSSchedulerWindowFactory : ISchedulerDialogHostFactory
    {
        ISchedulerDialogHost ISchedulerDialogHostFactory.CreateNew(ScheduleViewBase scheduleView, DialogType dialogType)
        {
            var dialogContent = new SchedulerDialog();
            dialogContent.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Stretch;
            dialogContent.VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Stretch;
            dialogContent.HorizontalContentAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Stretch;
            dialogContent.VerticalContentAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Stretch;

            //Default size
            var dimensions = new Point(240, 320);

            switch (dialogType)
            {
                case DialogType.ConfirmationDialog:
                case DialogType.RecurrenceChoiceDialog:
                    dimensions.X = 240;
                    dimensions.Y = 140;
                    break;
                default:
                    break;
            }

            dialogContent.MinWidth = dimensions.X;
            dialogContent.MinHeight = dimensions.Y;

            SchedulerWindow schedulerWindow = new SchedulerWindow
            {
                HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Stretch,
                VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Stretch,
                HorizontalContentAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Stretch,
                VerticalContentAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Stretch,

                ResizeMode = Telerik.Windows.Controls.ResizeMode.CanResize,
                WindowStartupLocation = Telerik.Windows.Controls.WindowStartupLocation.CenterScreen,
                ScheduleView = scheduleView,
                Content = dialogContent,
            };

            //schedulerWindow.Style = ResourceHelper.GetAppStyle("RadWindowPortalStyle");

            return schedulerWindow;
        }
    }
}

Hello,

The default style for SchedulerDialog has Width defined. Try to set dialogContent's Width to Auto.

All the best,

Yep, that was it. It works now. Thanks.
