[Bernard]

Hi,

Is it possible to have the RadDock moving webparts in a SharePoint page?

Thanks.

Hello Bernard,

The RadDock control works in MOSS website. You can use our online help for more information on how to integrate the RadDock  in MOSS: "Deploying RadControls for ASP.NET Ajax" and "Incorporating RadControls for ASP.NET Ajax in MOSS WebSites".
Do not hesitate to contact us, if you need further assistance.

All the best,

Hi,

Basically, what we want to do is to drag and drop SharePoint 2010 webparts without going into Edit Mode.
How is authentication being managed?
How is the webpart metadata (e.g. webpart settings) stored after the drag and drop event? 

Thanks!

Hello Bernard,

I am not that familiar with the Microsoft Sharepoint framework, and I am not sure whether it is possible to move the web parts without going into edit mode.

You can handle the RadDock's DockPositionChanged, to update the changes (i.e. webpart settings) of the specific web part moved. Make sure the docks automatically post the page back to the server.

The RadDock is a standard ASP.NET Ajax control, and conforms to the built-in ASP.NET (or MOSS) user authentication and authorization, i.e. it would behave in the same way as other ASP.NET controls would. I suppose you can use the RadDock's ForbiddenZones (AllowedZones) functionality to limit the docking of the dockable objects depending on the user. The Closed or Visible properties should be used to show/hide the docks depending on the user logged in.
