RadDocking and routed events mechanism

[Neil]

Hi,

I'm adding additional title bar buttons to the RadPane using the example in your documentation.   In order to get events when the buttons are clicked I am using the routed events mechanism as described in the same section. 

This is working well, when a button is pressed the event is fired in the application.      The hard part solved I guess, what I can't seem to figure out is quite how to identify the RadPane control which the button was fired on?

My RadPanes are all dynamically created along with the RadDocking control.

I was looking for events to be fired when a RadPane becomes selected but I couldn't get this to work either.   Any suggestions would be welcomed.

Kind regards
Neil

Hello Neil,

 If you customize the header of the pane (that is displayed as a tab item) you might use the following code:

button.ParentOfType<RadPane>()

where button is the button that fired the event (the OriginalSource of the Click event).

If you are customizing the other header (with the close and pin buttons) you cannot use this code as the header is placed directly into the PaneGroup. What you could do is to use the following code:

button.ParentOfType<RadPaneGroup>().SelectedItem as RadPane

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,
