Why is this happening?

Bryan posted over 15 years ago

I think I boiled down my earlier problem to the simplest example possible:

<Window x:Class="TestApp.Window1"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:igDock="http://infragistics.com/DockManager"
    xmlns:local="clr-namespace:TestApp"
    Title="Window1" Height="600" Width="800">
    <Grid>
        <igDock:XamDockManager>
            <igDock:XamDockManager.Panes>
                <igDock:SplitPane SplitterOrientation="Vertical">
                    <igDock:ContentPane Header="Pane 1">
                        <RichTextBox VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto"/>
                        
                    </igDock:ContentPane>
                    <igDock:ContentPane Header="Pane 2">
                        <RichTextBox VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" />
                    </igDock:ContentPane>
                </igDock:SplitPane>
            </igDock:XamDockManager.Panes>
        </igDock:XamDockManager>
    </Grid>
</Window>

If you replace the RichTextBox in Pane 1 by the Label, the spacing of the split window gets hosed up. What is going on?

Hi Andrew, thanks for the reply! I read your other post, and while I understand why this happens as you describe: the root split pane, gets a default initial location of DockedLeft- which should still be okay. And the pane takes the available space requested by the controls in the ratios requested.

But I still have no idea how to actually fix the problem.

But using the snippet of code I have here, how can I actually have the pane stretch properly?

But that's what I'm trying to explain. That while you may be able to force it for a given fixed scenario, the xamDockManager isn't set up to fill the available area - it mimics the VS behavior of docking around the center area. Even if you did something as you mentioned in the other post where you put in an element that uses the available size there will still probably be situations where the docked pane will not fill the available area - e.g. unpin/float some panes or drag the splitter bar adjacent to that single pane. Also the end user would still be able to drag panes that would result in new root docked panes. As I mentioned the xamDockManager's docked panes are designed to be docked around some central content. A future version will likely include a mode where the last pane fills the available area similar to how we implemented it in UltraDockManager.
