Hello Diego,
Yes, you can place the SettingsPane (and the SettingsPaneView) wherever you want - it doesn't have to be in the additional content of the RadDiagram. If you could elaborate a little bit more on your exact scenario and what you're trying to achieve it'll be easier for us to help you further.
We're looking forward to hearing from you again.

Hi, what i'm trying to do is to allow the user to move the settingsPane wherever he/she wants, like a window. Sometimes an user needs to manipulate the properties of certain diagramObject and at the same time needs to see another object in the diagram. What i'd do is grab the property window with the mouse pointer and drag it to some other place so i'll be able to see what was behind the SetthingsPane.

Hi Diego,
One way to do this is with our DragDropManager - handle the DragInitialize and DragOver events and move the settings pane inside a canvas. If you don't want the open/close button you can place a SettingsPaneView inside anything you want - popup, border, window and etc. and move its parent on DnD again.
I've attached a sample project demonstrating the first approach so could you please examine it and tell us if this is what you're looking for.

Hi,
I have a similar requirement to this forum post, so I downloaded the sample project to try out. I notice that the button actually gets displaced together with the SettingsPane. Is it possible to allow the SettingsPane to be moved by user but the button remain at its relative position from the object? Thanks for your help.

Hello Swee,
The button moves along with the SettingsPane (SP) because it is part of the SP's ControlTemplate. To separate them, I would suggest implementing another approach from scratch. In the AdditionalContent, place button which has single purpose - to open a RadWindow / Window. The Content of the window could be SettingsPaneView, which is bound to the diagram via the Diagram property. I hope this helps you proceed further.
