RadPaneGroup Q1 2013

[mg]

The release notes for Q1 2013 state that the TabStripPlacement property is now supported for RadDocking.

Could somebody please provide an example of this working?

Hello,

By default when you place Panes in a PaneGroup that is not inside a DocumentHost the TabStripPlacement property is set to Bottom. In the current version of RadDocking only the Top and Bottom settings are supported, the Left and Right settings are available so that they could be customized and implemented.

The next sample code snippet shows how to set the TabStripPlacement of a PaneGroup to Top:

<telerik:RadDocking>
    <telerik:RadSplitContainer>
        <telerik:RadPaneGroup TabStripPlacement="Top">
            <telerik:RadPane Header="Pane 1"/>
            <telerik:RadPane Header="Pane 2"/>
            <telerik:RadPane Header="Pane 3"/>
            <telerik:RadPane Header="Pane 4"/>
        </telerik:RadPaneGroup>
    </telerik:RadSplitContainer>
</telerik:RadDocking>

Thanks Vladi.

What about a RadPaneGroup that is inside a DocumentHost? Is it possible to have TabStripPlacement (Top|Bottom) working?

[Vladi]

Hi,

In the current version of RadDocking setting the TabStripPlacement for panes placed inside the DocumentHost is not supported.

If you want to customize the placement of the strip for the Panes that are inside the DocumentHost you will need to customize the PaneDocumentHostTemplate of the control.

Hi,

I've saved the Layout of  my pages with RadDocking.SaveLayout methode and try to load it with Raddocking.LoadLayout at next program start. But RadDocking.SaveLayout doesn't write out the TabStripPlacemant property, Raddocking.LoadLayout doesn't read the property and  set TabStripPlacemant with default value (Bottom). I've tried to set TabStripPlacemant ="Top" in code behind after Raddocking.LoadLayout but it has no effect.

Is there  any workaround?

best regards

Hi,

In the RadDocking control in order for the properties of the components of the control to be saved and loaded by the built-in Save/Load layout functionality you will need to set the SerializationTag attached property to the desired RadPaneGroups, RadPanes etc. In order for the TabStripPlacement to be saved and loaded all you need to do is make sure that the telerik:RadDocking.SerializationTag attached property is set to that RadPaneGroup. The next code snippet shows how the Docking control should look like:

<telerik:RadDocking>
    <telerik:RadSplitContainer>
                <telerik:RadPaneGroup TabStripPlacement="Top" telerik:RadDocking.SerializationTag="RadPaneGroup1">
            <telerik:RadPane Header="Pane Left 1" x:Name="Pane1" telerik:RadDocking.SerializationTag="PaneLeft1"/>
        </telerik:RadPaneGroup>
    </telerik:RadSplitContainer>
</telerik:RadDocking>

Hope this is helpful.
