Many RadDocumenPane

[Richard Harrigan]

Hi

I have a need to have many open documents open at the same time.  Also, each pane header may have a long name.  After opening more than about 4 or 5 documents the pane width is reduced.  This leaves the pane header unintelligible.  The typical way this is handled by microsoft and others is to have a dropdown list of panels.  How would I do this with RadDocking.

Thanks
Rich

Hello,

In the current version of RadDocking when the docked in the DocumentHost of the control Panes are too many in order for all of them to be visible theirs Header/Titles needs to be shrunk. If you want to be able to see the hole Header/Title of those Panes all you need to do is set the HorizontalScrollBarVisibility and DropDownDisplayMode of the RadPaneGroup in which those Panes are placed.

The next code snippet shows the described approach:

<telerik:RadDocking>
    <telerik:RadDocking.DocumentHost>
        <telerik:RadSplitContainer>
            <telerik:RadPaneGroup ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" DropDownDisplayMode="WhenNeeded">
                <telerik:RadPane Header="DocumentHost Pane 1"/>
                <telerik:RadPane Header="DocumentHost Pane 2"/>
                <telerik:RadPane Header="DocumentHost Pane 3"/>
                <telerik:RadPane Header="DocumentHost Pane 4"/>
                <telerik:RadPane Header="DocumentHost Pane 5"/>
                <telerik:RadPane Header="DocumentHost Pane 6"/>
                <telerik:RadPane Header="DocumentHost Pane 7"/>
                <telerik:RadPane Header="DocumentHost Pane 8"/>
            </telerik:RadPaneGroup>
        </telerik:RadSplitContainer>
    </telerik:RadDocking.DocumentHost>
</telerik:RadDocking>

Hope this is helpful.
