Resizeable RadDocks

[stevenbright]

Do you have a time estimate as to when the resizable RadDock functionality will be available? I upgraded my solution to use the new controls only to find that after a few hours of code rewrites, the resize functionality does not exist in the new control. I checked into the forum and found that someone else had also wrote to the forum on this topic back in May.

Hello,

Resizing for RadDock Prometheus is among our top feature requests. However, due to the scheduled work on the controls as a whole, it is less likely that resizing will be implemented in the next couple of months.

Best wishes,

Not sure if it matters, but this would be a big feature for my current projects also.

This is also a feature I really need.  Please add my vote to this!

Is it possible this will be implemented by end of september?

Hello tinsoldier,

We will try to provide this feature by the end of September, however we cannot give you full guarantee of that as we have a release in September.

Hi ashish,

We are currently working on this and when we have a stable build we will post a message so that you can request it and test with it.

I'd like to add my vote for resize as well. Is there a revised ETA on the feature?

[Petya]

Hi Rob Houck,

This feature has been requested numerous times and it is truly among our priorities as we want to encourage our clients to migrate to RadDock Prometheus and for many of them resizing is the only reason not to. So as for now we have scheduled it to be released with Q1 2008. In case we have implemented it earlier it will be included in some of the service packs before that.

All the best,

Just a big "thank you" for implementing this in Q12008. However, it appears that resizing is limited to "un-docked" items. The prior version would allow resizing for "docked" items. Are there plans to expand the functionality farther?

This is a fairly large usability issue for our dashboard application, We upgraded to Prometheus and received howls of protest after we lost the resize functionality. We had hoped to tell users we have an update -- but we still cannot regain functionality that was lost.

Hi

I have yet to test thie feature out, but do you think we can use the resize feature to make the raddocks work like windows , specially the Tile feature ?

Hi Ashish,

Please, accept our apologies for the delayed response.

RadDock for ASP.NET AJAX does not provide a tile functionality such as that of the RadWindow. However, you can try to implement such a functionality using the RadDock's client-side API and especially the set_top and set_left client-side methods.

Rob, thank you for your feedback.
In RadDock for ASP.NET the RadDockingZones are rendered as table html elements while in RadDock for ASP.NET AJAX the RadDockZones are rendered as div html elements. This has serious implications on  the dock's resize functionality when docked in a zone. We are planning to allow docks being resized when docked in a zone but currently we are considering what is the most proper resize behavior of the docked RadDocks.

All the best,
