OnClientDockPositionChanging

The OnClientDockPositionChanging client-side event occurs when the user tries to drop the RadDock control in a new location. If the new location is inside a docking zone, the docking zone shows a placeholder at this point, but has not yet docked the RadDock control.

The event handler receives two parameters:

The instance of the RadDock control that has just been dragged.
An eventArgs parameter containing the following methods:
- set_cancel lets you prevent the control from moving to the new location. If you call set_cancel(true), the RadDock control snaps back to its starting point, and no further events occur.
- get_cancel returns a boolean value indicating whether the drop operation was cancelled.

The following example uses the OnClientDockPositionChanging event to cancel a move when a RadDock control is the last control in its old docking zone:

ASP.NET

<script type="text/javascript">
    function KeepLastDock(dock, e)
    {
        var id = dock.get_dockZoneID();
        if (id != "")
        {
            var zone = $find(id);
            var docks = zone.get_docks();
            if (docks.length == 0)
                e.set_cancel(true);
        }
    }
</script>
<telerik:RadDockLayout ID="RadDockLayout1" runat="server">
 <telerik:RadDockZone ID="RadDockZone1" runat="server">
   <telerik:RadDock
      ID="RadDock1"
      runat="server"
      OnClientDockPositionChanging="KeepLastDock" />
   <telerik:RadDock
      ID="RadDock2"
      runat="server"
      OnClientDockPositionChanging="KeepLastDock" />
   <telerik:RadDock
      ID="RadDock3"
      runat="server"
      OnClientDockPositionChanging="KeepLastDock" />         
 </telerik:RadDockZone>
 <telerik:RadDockZone ID="RadDockZone2" runat="server" >
 </telerik:RadDockZone>
</telerik:RadDockLayout>
