Top docked split container to fit its content

[Ciprian Bortos]

Hi

Would you please instruct me on how to make a top docked RadSplitContainer adjust its height to fit its content?
Here is my XAML:

<UserControl x:Class="TelerikTests.MainPage"
             xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
             xmlns:radDock="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls.Docking">

    <radDock:RadDocking>
        <radDock:RadDocking.DocumentHost>
            <TextBlock Text="Document here" />
        </radDock:RadDocking.DocumentHost>

        <radDock:RadSplitContainer InitialPosition="DockedTop" Background="Red">
            <radDock:RadPaneGroup VerticalAlignment="Top" Background="Yellow" >
                <radDock:RadPane CanDockInDocumentHost="False" CanUserClose="False" Header="Top panel" CanUserPin="False" Background="Blue" >

                    <Grid Background="White" VerticalAlignment="Top">
                        <TextBlock Text="Top panel content" Margin="5" />
                    </Grid>

                </radDock:RadPane>
            </radDock:RadPaneGroup>
        </radDock:RadSplitContainer>

        <radDock:RadSplitContainer Orientation="Vertical" InitialPosition="DockedRight" Width="300">

            <radDock:RadPaneGroup>
                <radDock:RadPane CanDockInDocumentHost="False" CanUserClose="False" Header="Style Elements"></radDock:RadPane>
            </radDock:RadPaneGroup>

            <radDock:RadPaneGroup>
                <radDock:RadPane CanDockInDocumentHost="False" CanUserClose="False" Header="Properties">
                </radDock:RadPane>
            </radDock:RadPaneGroup>

        </radDock:RadSplitContainer>

    </radDock:RadDocking>

</UserControl>

If you run it, you will see that the height of the RadSplitContainer (with the Red background) is larger than the height of its content. I would like to make it shrink so it is only large enough to fits its content.

Thanks.

Does it make any sense what I'm asking?
I would really hope to find a solution other than hard-coding the height of the RadSplitContainer.

Anyone?  Thanks.

Hi Ciprian,

 Currently this feature is not supported by the Docking control. What I would suggest you is to track the SizeChanged event of the Grid, that holds the content of the pane and any time it changes to find the corresponding SplitContainer and change its Height.
