Update saved layout

[Leśmian]

Hi,
I use RadDocking with several RadPanes. I implemented Load/Save functionality as described in Save/Load Layout. It works great, but what if I add a new pane to my RadDocking control? User with saved layout will still see old layout? How to update user layout to match current number of panes in the application? I don't want to delete user layout every time I add something new to the application.

Hello,

You would need to either save the Layout when new pane has been added or you could save it when the application is about to be closed, so the last used layout is persisted.

Hope this helps.

Well I know how and when user can save layout, but what if I as a application developer want to add a new pane and release new version of application? I want to add that pane to user saved layout? Maybe I should firstly check what panes are in user's saved layout and compare them with default application layout and add missing panes after I load user's layout?

Hi,

For this scenario you would need to manually update the XML in order to include the newly added Pane.

Hope this helps.

Are you sure about it? Maybe I can implement something like in this thread: http://www.telerik.com/forums/loadlayout-ignore-missing-additional-panes

Hi,

If you are using PaneSource - you could also check the following example from our online XAML SDK repository that demonstrates how to resolve such scenario:

Hope this helps.
