Rad Docking inside a window

[reema]

hi,
why dose the Rad Docking  control disappear when I add it inside  Rad Window?

<telerik:RadWindow x:Name="win"  >

 

<Grid>

 

 

 

<radDock:RadDocking >

 

 

 

<radDock:RadSplitContainer Orientation="Vertical" InitialPosition="DockedLeft">

 

 

 

<radDock:RadPaneGroup>

 

 

 

<radDock:RadPane Header="Pane Left 1" Content="Pane Left 1" />

 

 

 

</radDock:RadPaneGroup>

 

 

 

</radDock:RadSplitContainer>

 

 

 

</radDock:RadDocking>

 

 

 

</Grid>

 

 

 

</telerik:RadWindow>

thx

Hi reema,

Did you open the RadWindow in the page loaded event? If not then this is the default behavior of RadWindow - when loaded RadWindow remove it self from the layout. Then when Show or ShowDialog method is called RadWindow shows inside of Popup.
Please note that you call Show or ShowDialog in Page Loaded event (no earlier) or RadWindow won't work (this is Silverlight issue with popup control).

Let us know if you need more information.

Sincerely yours,

Hello reema,

This is a bug in RadDocking. We found it and the fix will be included in our next build. As a workaround for now you can use the following code, but remember to remove it as soon as you upgrade your RadControls for Silverlight. Right after showing the window, add the following:

foreach (var c in docking.Items
                    .Where(i => i is RadSplitContainer)
                    .Cast<RadSplitContainer>())
{
    if (c.Visibility == Visibility.Collapsed &&
        c.Items
        .Where(i => i is UIElement)
        .Cast<UUIElement()
        .Count(item => item.Visibility != Visibility.Collapsed) > 0)
    {
        c.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
    }
}

where docking is the Docking control in your window.

I have this error now..
Error 1 The name 'UUIElement' does not exist in the current context ....

thx

Hello reema,

I'm really sorry, I pressed "U" while I was formatting the code. Please, remove the "U" in front of the UIElement in the line ".Cast<UUIElement()".

This should solve the problem.

hi,

the error now..
Error 1 'System.Windows.UIElement' is a 'type' but is used like a 'variable' 

thx

[Miroslav Nedyalkov]

Hi reema,

I didn't notice that the ">" is missing, too. Here is the correct code. I hope I didn't break it again while formatting...

thx

[reema]

hi,

 also I tryed to copy the example  http://demos.telerik.com/silverlight/#Docking/SplitContainers but I got  "AG_E_UNKNOWN_ERROR"
actually what i need is to  add a tab control beside the dock control so if  hide dock control the tab will be expanded..

thx

Hi reema,

Could you please open a support ticket and attach the project that gives you the error to let us investigate the problem.

I'm really sorry about the missing code. In the meantime, you can download the latest internal build, where problem is fixed and you will not need this work-around any more. The version is 2009.1.508

Hope this helps.
