    I have the next code:
                <doc:RadPaneGroup Visibility="Collapsed"> 
                    <doc:RadPane Header="Build"> 
                    </doc:RadPane> 
                </doc:RadPaneGroup> 

    but the RadPane is visible anyway. When i set it in code, then everything works.
    I check and the Visibility property is always Visible. I don't know who set it to visible, but it's sure that i didn't.

    Hello Matjaz,

    The RadPaneGroup control changes its Visibility property automatically when its visible panes vary. If you want to make a RadPaneGroup invisible you just need to make all its panes hidden (to set their IsHidden property to true). As the RadPaneGroup uses its Visibility property internally you shouldn't change it yourself.

    Hi,
    I wonder why you are not using the Visibility prop as this seems to me far more WPF-ish than to set all children's IsHidden prop to true...
    Is it because RadDocking is in an early state of development and maybe this will be cleaned up lateron?

    kind regards,
    Hermann

    Hello Hermann,

    We are not using the Visibility property is it is a property that comes from the UIElment class and it means something different to the framework and we didn't want to override its original meaning. Hope this makes sense.

    Hi,

    "Visibility is a property that comes from the UIElment class and it means something different to the framework"

    Can you explain what your different meaning of Visibility in this case is - just for curiosity?

    For me, Visibility fundamentally means, that a UIElement with Visibility=collapsed is - together with its children - not visible...

    see Microsofts point of view which states that it SETs the visibility.

    Yours sincerely
    Hermann
