I believe my problem is simple and I have searched for an answer and cannot find one. I have 3 RadDockZones in a RadDockLayout. Each RadDockZone contains 1 RadDock. RadDock1 can be docked in all RadDockZones, RadDock2 cannot be moved and RadDock3 cannot be moved.

What I what to do: When RadDock1 gets docked in RadDockZone2, I want to change the title of RadDock2 to the title of RadDock1 and then move RadDock1 back to its RadDockZone1. And the same for when RadDock1 gets docked in RadDockZone3.

I need this done server side. I got all to work except moving RadDock1 back to its original place. I can manipulate all the docks when I'm in RadDock1_DockPositionChanged. The problem is when I leave RadDock1_DockPositionChanged it sets the DockZoneID back to where RadDock1 was moved to when the routine has ended.

I am using MasterPages.

Sub RadDock1_DockPositionChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.DockPositionChangedEventArgs) Handles RadDock1.DockPositionChanged, RadDock2.DockPositionChanged, RadDock3.DockPositionChanged

 

 

Dim mpContentPlaceHolder As ContentPlaceHolder = CType(Master.FindControl("ContentPlaceHolder3"), ContentPlaceHolder)

 

 

Dim i As Int32

 

 

Dim iDockTo, iDockFrom As Int32

 

 

Dim MyDock As Telerik.Web.UI.RadDock

 

 

Dim MyDockZone As Telerik.Web.UI.RadDockZone

 

iDockFrom = CalcDockNumber(sender.DockZoneID)

iDockTo = CalcDockNumber(e.DockZoneID)

 

If iDockFrom = iDockTo Then Exit Sub

 

 

 

MyDock = CType(mpContentPlaceHolder.FindControl("RadDock" & iDockTo), Telerik.Web.UI.RadDock)

 

MyDock.Title = sender.title

 

 

 

MyDock =

CType(mpContentPlaceHolder.FindControl("RadDock" & iDockFrom), Telerik.Web.UI.RadDock)

 

MyDockZone =

CType(mpContentPlaceHolder.FindControl("RadDockZone" & iDockFrom), Telerik.Web.UI.RadDockZone)

 

MyDock.Dock(MyDockZone.ID)

 

 

 

 

 

End Sub

Hi Ryan,

You should move the dock by using the client-side API of RadDock. In order to do that you need to register a JavaScript function to the page which will move the dock to the first RadDockZone. Here is the code that accomplishes that:

Dim script As String = String.Format("function changeZone(){{" & vbCr & vbLf & "                Sys.Application.remove_load(changeZone);" & vbCr & vbLf & "                $find('{0}').dock($find('{1}'));}};" & vbCr & vbLf & "                Sys.Application.add_load(changeZone);", RadDockZone1.ClientID, sender.ClientID) 
            Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(Me.GetType(), "dock", script, True

For your convenience I have attached my test page where you could see this in action. You could modify it to meet the needs of your specific scenario.
