Currently when ScaleTransform is used ether on the RadDocking control or its container the compasses/drop cues which are shown when docking a RadPane instance have incorrect scaling and are placed incorrectly.

By design the control's scaling is determined by the scaling of the OS environment.

Currently Minimize\Restore\Maximize buttons are not shown in the ToolWindow's header, so there are some inconveniences in use. For example, it's impossible to minimize tool windows easily.

What you have two separate RadDocking controls it should be possible to drag a Pane from the first control into the other one.

A way of setting the pane order in autohidearea, to keep the order when changing IsPinned state.

Currently the small arrow which is used to display the menu is not shown in the ToolWindow's header even when a single pane is shown in the window.

By design in the current version of RadDocking when a hidden RadPane instance in a RadPaneGroup is made visible by changing the IsHiddden property of that pane to False, that RadPane is set to be SelectedItem in the group.


Make it possible to disable this functionality. This way the old selected RadPane in that RadPaneGroup will be persisted.

Return undocked pane to its previous docked state when double click on its Header.

Just like in Visual Studio, a floating pane, which I want to dock (for example to the bottom), can either take the whole width or just the width that is left.

For example:
At start, the panes in the bottom does not consume the whole window width. After undocking the panes and docking them back, the compass only shows me an option to dock the panes while consuming the whole width.

I have no option to return to the original state (like in Start.png). The only way to return to that state is undock and re-dock the right pane, and then dock and re-dock the left pane.

Visual Studio has this feature (see image).

Make it possible to float, maximize and restore the Pane to its previously docked position.

As a user I want to be able to maximize docked Panes when I double click their Headers and restore them to their docked state when I double click the Header of the floating Pane so that it is easier for me to maximize a Pane with less mouse interaction.

Adding active state will make possible to customize the Template/Style of the active Pane in the control.

Pinning a pane instance will cause that instance's tab to go to the first place of the group in which it is in the DocumetnHost of the control. This behavior could be observed in MS Visual Studio 2013

Place a notepad over the MainWindow and mouseover an unpinned pane - the autohide area shouldn't show up.

As a developer using the RadDocking control, I want to be able to make the Popups of the AutoHideAreas non-transparent without overriding the whole theme.

Changing theme runtime when we have a floating RadPane, then dock it into one of the sides of an already docked RadPane and no splitter will show between them. Happens with implicit theming as well.

Any suitable workaround is welcome.

Add a CloseButtonPosition state like the InPane one but only for the active (selected) Pane

Possible work-around of this problem:

private void RadDocking_ElementLoaded ( object sender, LayoutSerializationEventArgs e )
 {
     if ( e.AffectedElement is RadPaneGroup )
     {
         var PaneGroup = e.AffectedElement as RadPaneGroup;
         var Panes = PaneGroup.EnumeratePanes().ToList();
         var SelectedIndex = PaneGroup.SelectedIndex;

         for ( int Index = 0; Index < Panes.Count; Index++ )
         {
             if ( ( Panes[ Index ].IsHidden || !Panes[ Index ].IsPinned ) && Index <= SelectedIndex )
             {
                 SelectedIndex++;
             }
         }

         PaneGroup.SelectedIndex = SelectedIndex;
     }
 }
