SplitContainer & Collapasble Panels

[Jason]

Hi,

    I'm looking for a way to have a tree dock to the left side in a collapsible panel, and a panel on the right side to fill.  If the left side panel is collapsed I'd like the right side to consume the free space?   Any hints on how to do this?

thanks
Mike

Hello Michael,

Thank you for contacting Telerik Support.

This layout can be achieved by adding a RadTreeView with its DockStyle set to Fill, and a RadCollapsiblePanel with DockStyle - Left. You also will need to set its ExpandDirection to Right. You must keep in mind that due to the specifics of WinForms layout you need to first add the RadTreeView and then the RadCollapsiblePanel​:

this.tree = new RadTreeView()
{
    Parent = this,
    Dock = DockStyle.Fill
};

this.panel = new RadCollapsiblePanel()
{
    Parent = this,
    Dock = DockStyle.Left,
    ExpandDirection = RadDirection.Right
};

You can also refer to the attached project.

Do not hesitate to write back, should you have further questions.

Hi George,

 

i need the RadCollapsiblePanel (rcp) to be wrapped in a RadSplitContainer(rsc). If the rcp is expanded the Splitter should be available and the rcp should react on these changes. If the rcp is collapsed then tne Splitter should not be available

Hi Dess,

Sorry to dig up an old post but I came here from Google. Your link http://www.telerik.com/forums/radsplitcontainer-and-radcollapsiblepanel-collapse-expand appears to be 404ing. Do you have an updated URL where I can see the solution?

I want to be able to have a RadSplitContainer with resizable panels but I want the panels to contain a RadCollapsiblePanel that will also shrink/grow the parent RadSplitPanel. Is this possible?

This is so that if the user can still shrink the panel if they don't want to collapse the whole panel but also be able to collapse it if they need.

Hello Ants,

Thank you for writing.

Currently, the link is not reachable because sometimes we move a forum post to our support ticketing system (which is a private communication channel) to avoid sharing confidential information. As to the question at hand, I would recommend you to use RadSplitContainer which supports collapsing of its panels as well as resizing. You can refer to our Demo application >> SplitContainer >> Collapsing Panels example.

I hope this information helps. Should you have further questions I would be glad to help.
