RadDocking DocumentHost and two RadSplitContainers

[jnh999]

Can I put more than one RadSplitContainers inside a DocumentHost since I need two RadPanes inside the documentHost that is user resizable?  It throws exceptions when I do so.  What is the purpose of DocumentHost?

Hello,

The DocumentHost is meant to be used as a main area in the RadDocking control. Please, refer to the following online help articles for more detailed information:

• http://www.telerik.com/help/silverlight/raddocking-visual-structure.html
• http://www.telerik.com/help/silverlight/raddocking-features-document-host.html

The DocumentHost is a content control and only one RadSplitContainer can be placed there, but you could place more than one PaneGroup (or event SplitContainer) there. For example, to place two groups in the DocumentHost, please refer to the following lines of code:

<telerik:RadDocking>
    <telerik:RadDocking.DocumentHost>
        <telerik:RadSplitContainer>
            <telerik:RadPaneGroup>
                <telerik:RadPane Header="Toolbox" />
            </telerik:RadPaneGroup>
            <telerik:RadPaneGroup>
                <telerik:RadPane Header="Server Explorer"/>
                <telerik:RadPane Header="Properties"/>
            </telerik:RadPaneGroup>
        </telerik:RadSplitContainer>
    </telerik:RadDocking.DocumentHost>

    ....
</telerik:RadDocking>

Hope this helps.
