RadSplitContainer height setting

[Aurore]

Hello,

I'd like to set the height of a radsplitter container.

<telerik:RadSplitContainer InitialPosition="FloatingOnly" x:Name="ZoomContainer" >
                <telerik:RadPaneGroup  >
                    <telerik:RadPane CanDockInDocumentHost="False" CanUserClose="True" x:Name="paneZoom"
                          Header="Zoom" >
                            <Grid>
  <myoject Width="200" Height="200"/>
</Grid>
</telerik:RadPane>
<telerik:RadSplitContainer>

My object has a fixed size, I'd like the RadSplitContainer to have the same....

And finally I don't want the user can resize splitcontainer. have you a property to do that ?

Thanks Aurore

Hi Aurore,

 What you need to do is to set the Width and Height properties of the ToolWindow control (not the SplitContainer) and to disable resizing it. Unfortunately you cannot stop the resizing cursors of the TooWindow, but you could set Min and Max width and height to it and this will not let the user to actually change the size.

Finding the ToolWindow is a little tricky - you must go up the visual tree starting from the RadPane or its content and find the ToolWindow control and set it up. You can use the Loaded event of the content of the pane for this purpose. Here is a small example of what I mean:

private void Rectangle_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    var content = sender as FrameworkElement;
    var window = content.ParentOfType<ToolWindow>();
    if (window != null)
    {
        window.MinHeight = window.MaxHeight = content.Height + 28; // +28 for the borders and header
        window.MinWidth = window.MaxWidth = content.Width + 12; // +12 for the borders
    }
}

This handler is hooked-up to the content of one of the panes which is a Rectangle in my case.

Hope this helps!

I've tried this, but the ToolWindow is always null. Is there any other way to set the minWidth of floating radPane?
