RadDocument - Hide Header/Title

[Thorsten]

Hi,

i'm looking for a way to hide the RadDocumentPane headers within the document host under certain conditions.
e.g. for applications that only contain a single document.
I tried to set the 'RadDocumentPane.PaneHeaderVisibilityProperty' to 'Collapsed' in this case, but without any effects.

Is there any way to control the visibility of the RadDocument-Host's title bar ?

Hi Thorsten,

Thank you for contacting us.

In order to achieve the desired you would need to extract and modify the PaneGroupDocumentTemplate. In the template you will have to find the Grid named Header and remove it. For your convenience I have prepared and attached a sample project which demonstrates the exact approach (note that I have used Implicit Styles).

Hope this will help you to achieve the desired.

Hi,

thanks for the sample, it pointed me to the right direction.

I switched to a less template-invasive solution via a custom pane group by hooking up to the Loaded-Event: 

private FrameworkElement FindDocumentHostHeader( )
{
    var header = this.ChildrenOfType<Panel>( ).FirstOrDefault( g => g.Name == "ItemsContainer" );
    return header;
}

private void CustomRadPaneGroup_Loaded( object sender, RoutedEventArgs e )
{
     if ( this.IsInDocumentHost )
     {
         this._documentHostHeader = this.FindDocumentHostHeader( this );
         if (this._documentHostHeader != null)
             this._documentHostHeader.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
     }
 }
