I am creating a UI that is made up of 5 user controls on a MainPage. I am using RadDockPanels for each of the regions, however, I can only get the panels to dock with in their specific regions, and not throughout the page freely.
Is there a specific way I should set up the main page so the controls (each region is made up of a RadDockPanel on a separate .xaml file) are displayed on the main page?
This is my current MainPage:
<
UserControl x:Class="Synthesis.MainPage"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

<ColumnDefinition Width="100*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="351" />
<RowDefinition Height="387" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<!-- Middle Top Panel -->
<GraphTopControl:GraphTopView x:Name="GraphTopPanel" Grid.Column="1"/>
<!-- Middle Bottom Panel -->
<GraphBottomControl:GraphBottomView x:Name="RadPanelBottomPanel" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="1"></GraphBottomControl:GraphBottomView>
<!-- Left Top Panel -->
<PointSearchPanel:PointSearchView x:Name="PointSearchPanel" Grid.Column="0"></PointSearchPanel:PointSearchView>
<!-- Left Bottom Panel -->
<!--<GroupLogsControl:GroupLogsPanel x:Name="GroupLogsPanel"></GroupLogsControl:GroupLogsPanel>-->
<PublicTab:PublicView x:Name="PublicPanel" Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="1"></PublicTab:PublicView>
<!-- Right Panel -->
<ContextPropertiesControl:ContextPropertiesView x:Name="ContextPropertiesGraphPanel" Grid.Column="3" Grid.RowSpan="2" Visibility="Visible" BorderBrush="{x:Null}">
</ContextPropertiesControl:ContextPropertiesView>
</Grid>
</
UserControl>
Here is the contents of one of my controls:

How do I turn off placing a docking control within another, so it allows me to place docking controls within each other?
Thank you for your suggestions and advice in advance.

If you want to place a RadDocking inside of RadDocking control, you could use AllowUnsafeMode property of RadDocking, but this is not a supported scenario. Please, refer to the following link - http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/wpf/docking/docking-inside-dockin.aspx
I hope this helps. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you require any further information.
