Open document as inactive

[JP]

Hello,

I was wondering, is it possible to add a new document to the document host but don't immediately make that new document active/visible? To clarify, the behavior I'm looking for is like in Chrome, when you middle-click a link, it opens the link in a new tab, but doesn't switch to it, it just opens it in the background.

What I'm trying to do is allow users to quickly open multiple tabs. This is tough to do when you have to keep switching back to the original tab that triggers the new tabs.

Thanks,

Joel

Hi Joel,

What you can do would be to manually active the needed Pane after the newly created Pane has been added. In order to do so you can simply set the IsActive property of RadPane to True or you use the ActivePane property of RadDocking.

Hope this helps.

Hi Kalin,

I was able to get this working using your advice. What I ended up doing was using the SelectedPane property of the RadPaneGroup that was inside the DocumentHost, keeping a reference to it, then adding my new pane as usual. Then, immediately after adding the pane is set IsActive to True on the previously selected pane.

Thanks for your help!
