Working with the demo version of infragistics and cannot get my docking layout setup properly. If I can, I think this is a great package and I will buy it. If not, then bummer for me.
I am attaching an image of what template I am trying to set up, and failing at. I am using the XAML, and I cannot get my SplitPanes to size their ratios properly. For example I can get a vertical split pane to embed a horizontal split pane and add ContentPanes properly (the left bar in my picture). But I cannot get the right side pane to size properly so that one ContentPane is small and the other is large.
Also, is it possible to have a group of tabs be pinnable? I have content panes in a tabgroup, but if I try to unpin it only affects that one tab.
Can anyone help?

This was most helpful! Thank you for the response.

Alternatively if you just wanted to have that TabGroupPane docked to the bottom so that its size is not proportionally distribute between the SplitPane and the TabGroupPane, you could put that TabGroupPane into a SplitPane that has its InitialDockedLocation set to DockedBottom. e.g.
It is important to realize though that the xamDockManager is a ContentControl and so the docked panes (including the last one that just has the RTB) is docked around the content. In this case you have no content so as you make the control bigger, you're going to have some empty space in the middle at some point. Depending on what you are trying to acheive, you might instead using a DocumentContentHost to provide a tabbed mdi area in the dockmanager and put the TabGroupPane into that. e.g.
Or if you just have singular content (the RTB) you could just make that the Content. e.g.
