Visible to All Users

Set dockPanel size

created 12 years ago

Hi,

we have a dockpanel that is docked at the right side in autoHide mode.
When a user hovers over the label at the side the panel slides open.
I want the panel to go over half of the application.
Whatever I try (setting size) the panel width always stay to the size that i set in design mode.
A user can drag drop the panel larger but I want to do that from code.
(and also change size again when application size changes)
How can I do that?

Hi,
Thank you for your message.
To change the panel width, set the DockPanel.Visibility property to Visible. Then, assign a new width. Finally, reset the panel state.

C#
private void SetDockPanelWidth(int width)  
     {  
         DevExpress.XtraBars.Docking.DockVisibility visibility = dockPanel1.Visibility;  
         dockPanel1.Visibility = DevExpress.XtraBars.Docking.DockVisibility.Visible;  
         dockPanel1.Width = width;  
         dockPanel1.Visibility = visibility;  
     }  
Visual Basic
Private Sub SetDockPanelWidth(ByVal width As Integer)  
         Dim visibility As DevExpress.XtraBars.Docking.DockVisibility = dockPanel1.Visibility  
         dockPanel1.Visibility = DevExpress.XtraBars.Docking.DockVisibility.Visible  
         dockPanel1.Width = width  
         dockPanel1.Visibility = visibility  
End Sub

Please try this solution and inform us of your results.
