Simple Doc layout blocked by DocumentHost

[Steve Chadbourne]

I am trying to achieve a very simple 2 pane docking layout. I want both panes to fill the space available with a splitter between them. If I hide one pane I want the other to fill the remaining space. Here is my markup:

    <Grid>

        <telerik:RadDocking Name="radDocking1" >

            <telerik:RadSplitContainer Name="LeftContainer" InitialPosition="DockedLeft" >

                <telerik:RadPaneGroup>
                    <telerik:RadPane Header="Task List">
                    </telerik:RadPane>
                </telerik:RadPaneGroup>

            </telerik:RadSplitContainer>

            <telerik:RadSplitContainer Name="RightContainer" InitialPosition="DockedRight">

                <telerik:RadPaneGroup>
                    <telerik:RadPane Header="Map">
                    </telerik:RadPane>
                </telerik:RadPaneGroup>
            </telerik:RadSplitContainer>

        </telerik:RadDocking>
    </Grid>

What seems to be blocking this is the DocumentHost. Even when I remove the document host by following the posted instructions - using blend to grab the style sheet and setting visibility to collapsed I still can't get my 2 panes to fill the space.

Any ideas anyone?

Cheers

Hello Steve,

 We've added feature that allows just the scenario you need. Please, refer to the following XAML:

<telerikDocking:RadDocking Name="radDocking1" HasDocumentHost="False">

    <telerikDocking:RadSplitContainer>

        <telerikDocking:RadPaneGroup>
            <telerikDocking:RadPane Header="Task List">
            </telerikDocking:RadPane>
        </telerikDocking:RadPaneGroup>

        <telerikDocking:RadPaneGroup>
            <telerikDocking:RadPane Header="Map">
            </telerikDocking:RadPane>
        </telerikDocking:RadPaneGroup>
    </telerikDocking:RadSplitContainer>

</telerikDocking:RadDocking>

Looking much better thanks. I was hoping there was something like HasDocumentHost. Might be worth updating your online docs to reference this rather than recommending the style workaround.

Still have a problem though. The first pane hides successfully but when I try and hide the second I get an exception:

-        InnerException    {"Sequence contains no matching element"}    System.Exception {System.InvalidOperationException}

It has been reported by Telerik that this is a known issue and they wil be working on it for a future release most likely SP2 planned for mid January.
