RADDOCK TOOLTABSTRIP

[Satyajeet B]

Hi there,

how can i disable close button which is on the right top corner of the toolwindow?
I have tried Caption visible property. But i want the other two button to be visible  and only close button to be disabled.

Thanks,
Satyajeet

Hi Satyajeet B,

The CloseButton can be hidden at a ToolWindow level. Please consider using the following code snippet:

toolWindow1.ToolCaptionButtons = ToolStripCaptionButtons.AutoHide | ToolStripCaptionButtons.SystemMenu;
toolWindow2.ToolCaptionButtons = ToolStripCaptionButtons.AutoHide | ToolStripCaptionButtons.SystemMenu;

This will show only the AutoHide (pin) button and the dropdown menu button for ToolWindow1 and ToolWindow2. The CloseButton, however, will be hidden.

I hope this helps. If you have additional questions, feel free to contact me.

Hello
I do have the same question
I did tried with your method
And it did not work

Here a sample of the code :

            test = !test;
            Telerik.WinControls.UI.Docking.ToolWindow window = ((frmTest)this.ParentForm).dockPanel;
            if(test)
                window.ToolCaptionButtons = Telerik.WinControls.UI.Docking.ToolStripCaptionButtons.AutoHide | Telerik.WinControls.UI.Docking.ToolStripCaptionButtons.SystemMenu;
            else
                window.ToolCaptionButtons = Telerik.WinControls.UI.Docking.ToolStripCaptionButtons.AutoHide | Telerik.WinControls.UI.Docking.ToolStripCaptionButtons.SystemMenu | Telerik.WinControls.UI.Docking.ToolStripCaptionButtons.Close;

This is the code I place in the event button of a UserControl.
So every time I press it, it's suppose to show/hide the close button, but nothing happens ...

Any Idea ?
Thx

Ok, I did found out where I'm getting the problem.
I'm using the DockControl method to add directly my userControl and not DockWindow (thi way I have to create a ToolWindow ... Why ???)

Is the any way I can hide the close buton whiout by using DockControl ? (Even if we create a toolwindow, it's not working threw DockControl ...)

Thx

How can we do that at design time?

 

Thanks

Hi AJ,

It is possible to set the ToolCaptionButtons property at desgin-time. Just select the a ToolWindow from the designer and choose the desired option from the property grid. However, please note that you can choose only one of the predefined options, but not a combination of them.

As to your feedback Cyril. T, you are correct. Currently, we have an issue with setting the ToolCaptionButtons property when the DockWindow is a HostWindow. We will address this issue in one of our next releases. For the time begin, please first add a ToolWindow using the DockWindow method and then load the desired content. I am updating your Telerik points for the report.

If you have additional questions, feel free to contact me.

Best wishes,
