Toolbox as tool window

[Tino]

Is it possible to have a Toolbox in a RadDock tool window, and (obviously) be useable with a RadDiagram? How would I do this? I tried several things with limited results.

Thanks.

Hello Tino, 

Thank you for writing.  

RadDiagramToolbox is a derivative of RadListView and like every other RadControl can be used in RadDock's ToolWindow. I have prepared a sample project for your reference. Please refer to the attached gif file illustrating the behavior on my end. 

If you are still experiencing any further difficulties, could you please specify the exact steps how to reproduce the problem? Alternatively, feel free to submit a support ticket where you can provide a sample project demonstrating the problem you are facing. Thus, we would be able to investigate the precise case and assist you further. Thank you in advance. 

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

Thanks. I did actually have it displaying in a tool window, but I wasn't sure how to associate a toolbox with a particular diagram.

So I have a 'Main' window, which has a RadDock and some tool windows, and I had a RadForm per diagram, with its own toolbox dropped on the form. Now I realize that's bad, and my Diagram 'container' form needs to have its own RadDock, and a Document window for each form (which contains a RadDiagram). That way the one toolbox will work for every diagram.

Is my last statement correct? Thanks.

Hello Tino, 

Thank you for writing back. 

RadDiagramToolbox introduces a set of shapes that can be dragged to a RadDiagram. It can't be associated with a specific RadDiagram. It can be used with any RadDiagram on the form.

Note that RadDiagramToolbox is a derivative of RadListView. If you need to restrict somehow the drag and drop behavior, you can customize the ListViewDragDropService. Additional information for the service is available in the following help articles:

I hope this information helps. If you have any additional questions, please let me know.
