Description

How to undock a RadPaneGroup programmatically.

Solution

To achieve this requirement you can create the following helper method.

Example 1: Create the helper method to float a RadPaneGroup

C#

	public void FloatGroup(RadPaneGroup paneGroup)
	{
		var panes = paneGroup.EnumeratePanes().ToList();
		var firstPane = panes[0];

		firstPane.MakeFloatingDockable();
		for (var i = 1; i < panes.Count(); i++)
		{
			panes[i].RemoveFromParent();
			firstPane.PaneGroup.AddItem(panes[i], DockPosition.Center);
		}
	}

You can then use this method to undock any RadPaneGroup.

Example 2: Use the FloatGroup helper method

C#

	this.FloatGroup(this.paneGroup1);
