Scaling RadDocking with ToolWindows

[Stanislau]

We need to implement a zooming feature on our control, which include RadDocking element.

Unfortunately, the floating tool windows do not scale just by applying RenderTransform to the control, like this:

    Dock.RenderTransform = new ScaleTransform { ScaleX = Scaler.Scale, ScaleY = .caler.Scale };

 

As said in this thread (http://www.telerik.com/forums/applying-a-scaletransform-to-a-raddocking-container-causes-splitters-to-drag-strangely) there is no native solution to this. However, is this possible with manual control over the positioning and scaling of the windows? Is there a way to get a list of all tool windows generated for RadPanes, and is it possible to control their position and scale?

 

Thanks.

Hi Stanislau,

In order to get all opened ToolWindows you can use the RadWindowManager.Current.GetWindows() method and filter those of type ToolWindow:

var toolWindows = RadWindowManager.Current.GetWindows().OfType<ToolWindow>();

Regarding the transform operations - scaling the ToolWindow up (zooming) would result in a broken looking UI, because the ToolWindow is hosted in a transparent native window chrome, which size will not change when the transform is applied.
