RadDock Background

[Rogério]

Hello,

Could you tell me how can I change RadDock background when I have no RadPane or RadDocumentPane elements or they don't fill all the available space?

Thanks.

Regards,
Rogério

Hello Rogério,

This is currently not possible, but we did some changes in that docking control that will allow more customizations including this one. This features will be available after the Q1 SP1 release (next week). I will bookmark the ticket and send an example when we release the new version.

Thanks.

Hello Rogério,

The SP1 of RadControls for Silverlight Q1 2009 is now released and you can set control template of the RadDocking control. I'm attaching an example of how to set the background color of the Docking control to red.

How can I change Tab Colors (Passive, Active, RollOver)?
We are using Docking for Silverlight.

Hi AK,

The best way you can do this is with a custom theme for the Docking control.

Hi Miroslav,

 I have a similar case to Rogério, and I saw your example, I'm wondering how could you then add new radDocuments to the document host since this is defined in the template? How can I (in generic terms) access a container defined inside a template, is this even possible?

Thanks ahead for all the help.

Best Regards,

Hi Luis,

The right way to add panes in the DocumentHost is by using the DocumentHost property of the Docking control. It expects a SplitContainer. You shouldn't try to add SplitContainers and Groups and Panes in the Template of the Docking control. When you set the DocumentHost property of the Docking control it shows it in the Document host control that is in the template.

Hope this information is helpful.
