Hi there,

I'm about to test the use the Silverlight 3 navigation framework with some Telerik components. I started a silverlight navigation project right away in VS, so far so good, I get a navigationbar on top and a content page on the lowerr part of the site.

But when I use a RadWindow inside the content page, it is able to overlap the navigationbar, or even cover it completely as I maximize the window. Is there any trick how to avoid this and limit the used space of the window to the navigatiopage's size?

Hello Rudolf Bösch,

Yes, our latest release has introduced the RestrictedAreaMargin which is of type Thickness that controls the size occupied by the control. To turn on and off this feature you will need the IsRestricted property that enables and disabled the RestrictedAreaMargin. We are about to create a blog post discussing the new feature. If you have any other questions don't hesitate to contact us.

Sincerely yours,

Hello Hristo Borisov,

Using the RestrictedAreaMargin and IsRestricted basically works fine, as you mention it, thank you very much.

However, there seems to be a few bugs.

If I open the RadWin initally maximized, it appears inside the defined margin. Minimizing it after the page has opened makes it jump on the left upper corner, it does seem to ignore the margin when minimized.

Trying to move it with the mouse when minimized makes it jump inside the given margins, from then on it minimizes inside the margins.

Cheers,
Rudolf

Hi Rudolf Bösch,

Yes, we investigated the problems that RestrictedAreaMargin has introduced and we have already scheduled a fix for our internal builds on Friday. If you want to give us more feedback, we look forward to answering your questions.

Best wishes,
