[Solved] New floating pane in docking

[Jeremy]

Is there a way to create a new pane in the floating state to the Docking layout?  I seem to be able to dynamically created a pane within an existing group in the docking, however it always goes to the docked state. 

Example:

RadDocumentPane newPane = new RadDocumentPane();

newPane.Title = "New Pane";
newPane.Header = "New Pane";

MyUserControl testUserControl = new MyUserControl();

newPane.Content = testUserControl;
theBottomRadPaneGroup.Items.Add(newPane);

Is there another portion of the docking I should add the new pane to so that it is floating?

Thank you for your help.

Hello Jeremy,

There are few methods on the RadPane that change its state, for example this is how you float it. Then you can set its floating position and size by using the attache dproperties on RadDocking.

RadPane newPane = new RadPane();

newPane.Title = "New Pane";
newPane.Header = "New Pane";

newPane.Content = "New Pane Content";

myGroup.AddItem(newPane, Telerik.Windows.Controls.Docking.DockPosition.Center);

newPane.MakeFloatingOnly();

I hope this helps,
