RadDocking.SetFloatingLocation usage

[Aurore]

Hello,

I have a zoom functionnality in a RadSplitContainer, i would like to place bottom-right my main application window.

I create this splitcontainer in xaml.

<telerik:RadSplitContainer InitialPosition="FloatingOnly" x:Name="ZoomContainer"
                                  telerik:RadDocking.FloatingSize="200 200"     >
                <telerik:RadPaneGroup  >
                    <telerik:RadPane CanDockInDocumentHost="False" CanUserClose="True" x:Name="paneZoom"
                            DataContext="{Binding DataContext, ElementName=root}"
                            IsHidden="{Binding DisplayZoom, Mode=TwoWay, Converter={StaticResource convInverseBoolean}}"
                          Header="Zoom"  >
                        <!--<Expander IsExpanded="True" Header="Zoom">-->
                        <Grid x:Name="rootZoom">

Then on Main window load container I'd like tu set programmaticaly the floating location :

private void QDiagram_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
   //ZoomContainer.SetValue(RadDocking.FloatingLocationProperty, new Point(132, 10));
  RadDocking.SetFloatingLocation(ZoomContainer, new Point(132, 10));
}

But it seems not to work...

Thanks for your help
Aurore

ps : is there a difference between using Object.SetValue(property, value) and type.Setproperty(object, value) ?

Hi Aurore,

Thank you for contacting us.

This scenario is not supported. FloatingLocation should be set in the XAML code, not manipulated in the code behind. However, you can achieve what you want using the code below (in the loaded event handler of the RadPane you want to move):

private void rootZoom_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            ToolWindow toolwindow = paneZoom.ParentOfType<ToolWindow>();
            toolwindow.HorizontalOffset = 540;
            toolwindow.VerticalOffset = 530;
        }

  
I hope this information helps. I will be glad to assist you further.
