As a user of the control I want to be able to write custom logic for saving and loading the layout of the Docking control so that - I can customize which elements should be saved (I want to exclude elements) - I can describe how the elements should be loaded - I can choose how the layout file is formatted - I can choose which properties of a RadSplitContainer, RadPaneGroup or RadPane are saved Available in the 2016 R2 release.
The ability to use wrapper classes is an important aspect of our implementation of Telerik controls. However right now, it is not possible to save/load a Docking layout with custom class names. Adding this custom save/load layout logic will allow us to do so.
This feature would be very useful for us! In our software, we'd like to save the layout state of a couple of different "types" of views into different files; One type is loaded when the application is started, and the other is loaded when the user loads previously saved work.
