Transparent docks animation

[Social_Quotient]

Is there a way in the prometheus docks to set the window to be transparent as you draw it around the screen? I have seen in the old rad controls this was native but I am not sure how to get the same appearance in the prom controls.

There was also some animation settings, are those coming into prometheus and if so when?

Thanks

Hi strategic coder,

Here is some sample code demonstrating how to have a transparent dock only while dragging it:

<telerik:raddock top="200" left="200" id="RadDock1" runat="server" text="RadDock1" title="RadDock1" onclientdragstart="OnClientDragStart"
            onclientdragend="OnClientDragEnd">
        </telerik:raddock>
        some text
        <script type="text/javascript">
        function OnClientDragStart(sender, args)
        {
            var dockElement = sender.get_element();
            dockElement.style.opacity = "0.7";
            dockElement.style.mozOpacity = "0.7";
            dockElement.style.filter = "alpha(opacity=70)";
        }

        function OnClientDragEnd(sender, args)
        {
            var dockElement = sender.get_element();
            dockElement.style.opacity = "";
            dockElement.style.mozOpacity = "";
            dockElement.style.filter = "";
        }
        </script>

The idea is to handle OnClientDragStart to set transparency and then OnClientDragEnd to return to the original non-transparent dock. Concerning the animation settings - we will be considering including such for Q1 version of RadDock Prometheus but the timeframe for this feature remains subject to change.

Okay thanks, that worked

Here is the next part. I have an editor (prometheus) in the dock and i would like it to also be transparent so only the content shows and not the white background.

Is this possible?

Thanks
John
