Updated on Sep 15, 2025

Environment

Product Version	2022.3.912
Product	RadDocking for WPF

Description

The Title and TitleTemplate properties of the RadPane element allow you to introduce a title that is bigger height than the default one. This will not automatically update the title area that allows you to drag the generated ToolWindow element.

Solution

To change this behavior, you can manually increase the drag threshold by setting the CaptionHeight property of the ToolWindow element.

Changing the CaptionHeight property

XAML

	<!-- If you use NoXaml dlls set the BasedOn property of the Style: BasedOn="{StaticResource ToolWindowStyle}" --> 
	<Style TargetType="telerik:ToolWindow">
	    <Setter Property="CaptionHeight" Value="60"/>
	</Style>
