This happens in particular scenario after saving/loading the layout.

Setting TabStripPlacement should be possible not only for RadPaneGroups but for the entire RadDocking control. That TabStripPlacement value should be used as default value for all the auto generated RadPaneGroups.

It would be useful to be able to customize the properties of the auto generated RadSplitContainer, RadPaneGroup and ToolWindow instances (created by floating, docking, pinning and unpinning of RadPane instances) based on the old RadPane instance.

For example the GeneratedItemsFactory methods could provide information about the RadPane for which SplitContainer etc is created.

Available in the 2016 R2 release.

The text in the Alt+Tab Manager is empty when there is a floating Pane in Windows XP

The DocumentHost RadPane support overflow scrolling and drop down menu similar to the DocumentHost in VisualStudio and RadTabControl. We would like this feature implemented for the non DocumentHost areas as well.

The RadPaneGroup inherits RadTabControl and the TabStripPlacement property. Currently the RadPaneGroup does not support setting this property as the corresponding ControlTemplates are not implemented.

The RadDocking control template hosts several AutoHideArea elements, one for each auto-hide placement - left, top, right, bottom. When you unpin a RadPane, it goes into one of those areas. The active auto-hide area where the pane will go is determined by the State of the topmost RadSplitContainer.

Allow manually setting the auto-hide area where the RadPane will go when unpinned.

The close button in the document host is not higlighted (hovered-button-state-doc-host.png) as opposed to panes outside the DocumentHost area (hovered-button-state.png).

The workaround is to update the MouseOver visual state of the RadButtonDocumentCloseControlTemplate:

                        <Grid Margin="5">
                            <ContentPresenter x:Name="ContentElement"
                            Visibility="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}, Path=IsContentPreserved, Converter={StaticResource InvertedBooleanToVisibilityConverter}}"
                            ContentTemplate="{TemplateBinding SelectedContentTemplate}"
                            ContentTemplateSelector="{TemplateBinding ContentTemplateSelector}"/>
                            <Grid x:Name="ContentElementsPanel" Visibility="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}, Path=IsContentPreserved, Converter={StaticResource BooleanToVisibilityConverter}}"/>

                    </Grid>
                </Grid>
            </ControlTemplate>
            <Style BasedOn="{StaticResource RadPaneGroupStyle}" TargetType="telerik:RadPaneGroup">
                <Setter Property="DocumentHostTemplate" Value="{StaticResource RadPaneGroupDocumentHostControlTemplate}"/>
            </Style>

The fix for this issue will be available in the next LIB version (2018.3.1022) expected on Monday, October 22.

When the RadDocking Items are reordered during runtime and new RadSplitContainers/RadPaneGroups are generated, the save/load behavior is sometimes incorrect. 

Having Problems with unreadable Tabs in RadPaneGroup: TabsSqueeze.png

I think I found a Solution with OverflowMode and ScrollViewer:

<telerik:RadPaneGroup x:Name="DocumentGroup" ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" OverflowMode="Scroll">

Problem:

After Loading Layout the OverflowMode is not respected anymore.

I found this ticket in Silverlight, what discribes the Problem and is approved: Docking: I would like OverflowMode to work for all RadPaneGroup in xaml/codebehind and this be persisted through SaveLayout/LoadLayout

And i found this documentation, which say, using OverflowMode can lead to unexpected behaviors:
https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/wpf/controls/raddocking/general-information/not-supported-properties

so i report this as a feature instead of a bug.

Please sea atteched an example project: TabWrapProblem.zip
Usage: Save and than Load the Layout -> Scrolling of tabs break

The exception is reproduced when multiple toolwindows with nested owners are floated and they are reloaded by re-merging the dictionaries in App.xaml in a NoXaml scenario.

When the IsHidden property of a RadPane within a ToolWindow is set to True and then to false in quick succession, the ToolWindow is not shown. 

As a workaround, you can disable the animation of the ToolWindow:
<Style TargetType="telerik:ToolWindow">
<Setter Property="telerik:AnimationManager.IsAnimationEnabled" Value="False" />
</Style>

The above style need to be placed in the resources of the App.xaml in order to take effect on the ToolWindows, since they are displayed in a separated visual tree.

 

The compasses of the other ToolWindow appear.
