TabControl inside RadDocking Control

[Jens]

Update: Please delete/ignore this post. I filed a support ticket.

Dear Support Team,

I’d like to display a TabControl inside the RadDocking control so that I can move the RadPanes to the TabItems of the TabControl.

I did an example with a following control tree:

RadDocking-RadSplitContainer-RadPaneGroup-RadPane-RadTabControl-RadTabItem-RadSplitContainer-RadPaneGroup-RadPane.

This example works well but is that a supported architecture? Will it work in the feature versions of Telerik controls? Do you have any other idea or example, where a TabControl is used inside a DockingPanel?

However there are some problems with this solution:

1. The RadTabItem must at least contain one RadPane. Without a RadPane I can’t place any other RadPane (drag and drop) inside the RadTabItem. Do you have any idea for a solution to this problem?
2. The layout serialization doesn’t work for the RadTabControl. I solved this problem in a way of saving the layout of every RadTabItem separately.

Regards

Jens
