Sizing the documentPanes

[Edward]

<telerik:RadDocking Grid.Row="1" HasDocumentHost="True" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Margin="0,0,0,0" Name="radDocking1" VerticalAlignment="Stretch">

            <telerik:RadDocking.DocumentHost>

                <telerik:RadSplitContainer InitialPosition="DockedRight" HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch">

                    <telerik:RadPaneGroup Name="radPaneGroup2" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Width="Auto" >

                        <telerik:RadDocumentPane Header="Main Document" />

                    </telerik:RadPaneGroup>

                    <telerik:RadPaneGroup Name="radPaneGroup4" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" MinWidth="50" >

                        <telerik:RadDocumentPane Header="Side Document" Width="200" MinWidth="200" />

                    </telerik:RadPaneGroup>

                </telerik:RadSplitContainer>

            </telerik:RadDocking.DocumentHost>

             

            <telerik:RadSplitContainer InitialPosition="DockedLeft" >

                <telerik:RadPaneGroup Name="radPaneGroup1" >

                    <telerik:RadPane Header="Pane 1" IsPinned="False"/>

                    <telerik:RadPane Header="Pane 2" IsPinned="False"/>

                </telerik:RadPaneGroup>

            </telerik:RadSplitContainer>                                          

        </telerik:RadDocking>

I am relatively new so forgive me for silly question like this.  I was trying to make a 3 pane groups:
- Left would be unpin and hidden, with a default width when pin.
- Right would be a documentPane with a min width and resizable
- Center would use whatever that's left

I couldn't get the sizing on the right pane working.  The center and right is always split in half.

Hello Edward,


Please, refer to the following code snippet:

<telerik:RadDocking>

            <telerik:RadDocking.DocumentHost>
                <telerik:RadSplitContainer>
                    <telerik:RadPaneGroup>
                        <telerik:RadDocumentPane Header="Pane3" />
                    </telerik:RadPaneGroup>
                </telerik:RadSplitContainer>
            </telerik:RadDocking.DocumentHost>

            <telerik:RadSplitContainer InitialPosition="DockedLeft">
                <telerik:RadPaneGroup>
                    <telerik:RadPane Header="Pane1" IsPinned="False" />
                </telerik:RadPaneGroup>
            </telerik:RadSplitContainer>

            <telerik:RadSplitContainer InitialPosition="DockedRight"  MinWidth="100">
                <telerik:RadPaneGroup>
                    <telerik:RadPane Header="Pane2" />
                </telerik:RadPaneGroup>
            </telerik:RadSplitContainer>
        </telerik:RadDocking>

The RadSplitContainers are placed in a DockPanel. The DocumentHost area is actually the last item in the DockPanel and it fills in the remaining space(after all RadSplitContainers arrange). This is the reason I would suggest you to use DocumentHost for center and a RadSplitContainer for right area.

I hope this helps.
