raddocking layout

[Jonam]

Hello in the code beneath is my page. Its a simple ribbonbar with below a raddocking component. In the designer it looks good. But when i start it and it opens in the explorer window an ugly white bar appears between the docking component and the ribbonbar. All the properties are set to stretch? How can i enable that the layout stays as in the designer

just reposted the code now its readable ;)

Hello Jonam,

Thank you for contacting us for advice.

The problem is that you have set the height of each of the two grid rows, but they do not amount to the whole height of the window and so you are left with empty space in between.

I suggest that when you use Grid.Row with * height, you should make sure that the sum of all rows equals to a whole 1 unit. For example, try the following in your project:

<Grid.RowDefinitions>
           <RowDefinition Height="0.14*" />
           <RowDefinition Height="0.86*" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>

Please, get back to us with any further questions. We will be glad to help.

All the best,
Dani

great that worked. Now the ugly white line is gone. But when i resize the internet explorer window to small the ribbonbar suddenly disappears. Is their anyway to avoid this behaviour?

Hi Jonam,

Thnak you for your feedback.

The RibbonBar control has a fixed size by default and this is intended standard. In order to prevent it from disappearing once it goes beyond its minimal height, you should use the CollapseThresholdSize property. This property sets the minimal height used as a threshold. Please , try the following:

<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">
        <Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
            <RowDefinition Height="*" />
        </Grid.RowDefinitions>

        <telerik:RadRibbonBar CollapseThresholdSize="20,20"
...
</telerik:RadRibbonBar>

Hope this solves the issue you are experiencing. Please write back with any further questions you might have.

Dani
