[Solved] Using a RadFrame inside a RadPane

[John]

Greetings! I am trying to simply display a RadFrame (named NavigationFrame in the code snippet below) inside of a RadPane. I can't seem to get the RadFrame's content to show up at all when I perform the navigatation by setting the RadFrame.Source property. Is this even possible? If so, do you have any idea of what I could be doing wrong? I am fairly new at Silverlight/Telerik controls, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

<telerikDocking:RadDocking x:Name="Docking" Margin="10" >

                <telerikDocking:RadSplitContainer InitialPosition="DockedLeft">
                    <telerikDocking:RadPaneGroup>
                        <telerikDocking:RadPane Header="StackStudio Explorer" CanDockInDocumentHost="False">

                            <telerikNavigation:RadPanelBar x:Name="NavigationBar" Margin="10" Selected="NavigationBar_Selected" ExpandMode="Multiple">

                                <telerikNavigation:RadPanelBarItem Header="Plants" x:Name="Plants" />
                                <telerikNavigation:RadPanelBarItem Header="Sources" x:Name="Sources" />
                                <telerikNavigation:RadPanelBarItem Header="Parameters" x:Name="Parameters" />
                                <telerikNavigation:RadPanelBarItem Header="Controllers" x:Name="Controllers" />

                            </telerikNavigation:RadPanelBar>

                        </telerikDocking:RadPane>
                    </telerikDocking:RadPaneGroup>

                </telerikDocking:RadSplitContainer>

                <telerikDocking:RadDocking.DocumentHost>

                    <telerikDocking:RadSplitContainer>
                        <telerikDocking:RadPaneGroup>
                            <telerikDocking:RadPane>
                                <telerikControls:RadFrameContainer>
                                    <telerikControls:RadFrame x:Name="NavigationFrame" />
                                </telerikControls:RadFrameContainer>
                            </telerikDocking:RadPane>
                        </telerikDocking:RadPaneGroup>
                    </telerikDocking:RadSplitContainer>

                </telerikDocking:RadDocking.DocumentHost>

            </telerikDocking:RadDocking>

Hi John,

I would suggest you to use the NavigationService class instead of the RadFrame class. Take a look at the following code:

<telerikDocking:RadPaneGroup>
    <telerikDocking:RadPane>
        <telerikControls:RadFrameContainer Grid.Row="0" x:Name="FramContainer">
        </telerikControls:RadFrameContainer>
    </telerikDocking:RadPane>
</telerikDocking:RadPaneGroup>

And in the code-behind:

public partial class Page
{
    public Page()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        var service = NavigationService.GetNavigationService();
        service.Target = this.FramContainer;
        service.RootPanel = this.FramContainer;
        service.Navigate(new TestPage());
    }

    private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        NavigationService.GetNavigationService().Navigate(new OtherTestPage());
    }
}

Notice that your pages must implement the IFrame interface to make this work.

Hope this helps.
