not able to resize Raddock

[Abhi Shinde]

Hi,
       I am trying to resize the Raddoc at codebehind. But its not working. 

<telerik:RadDockLayout runat="server" ID="RadDockLayout1" OnSaveDockLayout="RadDockLayout1_SaveDockLayout"
                                OnLoadDockLayout="RadDockLayout1_LoadDockLayout" >
                                <telerik:RadDockZone runat="server" ID="RadDockZone1" Width="300" MinHeight="500"
                                    Style="float: left; margin-right: 15px" >
                                </telerik:RadDockZone>
                                <telerik:RadDockZone runat="server" ID="RadDockZone2" Width="300" MinHeight="300"
                                    Style="float: left; margin-right: 15px; background: #f5f4e8;">
                                </telerik:RadDockZone>
                                <telerik:RadDockZone runat="server" ID="RadDockZone3" Width="300" MinHeight="300"
                                    Style="background: #d5f0fa; float: left;">
                                </telerik:RadDockZone>
                            </telerik:RadDockLayout>

private RadDock CreateRadDock()
        {
            int docksCount = CurrentDockStates.Count;

            RadDock dock = new RadDock();
            dock.DockMode = DockMode.Docked;
            dock.UniqueName = Guid.NewGuid().ToString().Replace("-", "a");
            dock.ID = string.Format("RadDock{0}", dock.UniqueName);
            dock.Title = txtDocTitle.Text;
            dock.Text = string.Format("Added at {0}", DateTime.Now);
            dock.Resizable = true;
            dock.Commands.Add(new DockCloseCommand());
            dock.Commands.Add(new DockExpandCollapseCommand());

            return dock;
        }

Can we resize "RadDockZone" also ??

waiting for reply...!!!

Hello Abhi,

The RadDockZone is not resizable, so if you want your zones to have custom width and height, you must set it explicitly.
The RadDock control can be resized, even when docked in a zone, but cannot exceed the width and height of the containing zone. Please visit the RadDock's Resizable demo, and you will notice that the dock residing in the zone, can only be resized vertically to the full height of the zone.

Hello Abhi,

I see that you have enabled resizing of the RadDocks, but I also see that the RadDock is residing in a zone. So, could you please confirm that you are using the latest version of the RadControls, because this functionality was introduced in Q3 2010?
As I said in my previous post, the dock cannot exceed the width and height of the parent zone. Please make sure this is satisfied, i.e. the zone has enough height (or width) for the dock to be resized.

Hi Pero ..

you said : The RadDockZone is not resizable, so if you want your zones to have custom width and height, you must set it explicitly.

thanks in advance ..

Hi Roukaya,

Try setting MinHeight and MinWidth of RadDockZone as follows.

C#:

RadDockZone1.MinHeight = Unit.Pixel(300);
RadDockZone1.MinWidth = Unit.Pixel(300);

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Princy.
