Hi,
I'm brand new to Infragistics so this is likely a beginner issue but here goes...
When I specify an image for a ContentPane, when the pane is hid the image appears very large.
I have tried both .ico and .png file types.
Any ideas?

Hello Troy,
Could you please attach a screenshot of this behavior?
Thanks for the reply. Here's a screen print. Notice the issue on the left hand side of the screen.
Troy,
From what I can see from the default templates, the image is not restricted in respect of width and height, as well as its Stretch property is none. This means, that it will be allowed to take as much space as it wants.
If you are setting this in procedural code, you can give it width and height. If you are setting this at the Image property in xaml, you can use (copy) the default xaml files (that we ship in the DefaultStyles directory) and set widht/height properties of the image element.
You should be looking for the UnpinnedTabItemTemplateKey in the DockManagerGeneric.xaml file.
FYI... I figured out the issue I mentioned in my last post where there was appearing a 'box' for an unpinned tab item. Below is a portion of the DockManagergeneric.xaml that I used to control the size of the image (which was my original problem) while trying to implement that fix I changed the Width and Height properities in the below snippet to 20 which caused the problem setting them back to 'Auto' corrected it. The 'box' I was referring to is actually the lighlihhted border for the unpinned tab.
<!-- ========== UnpinnedTabItemTemplateKey ========== -->
}">
="true">

="Background">
="Auto">
="0,1,1,1"/>
="True"/>
I can't really say exactly what is wrong but that looks like the background/border for the tab item which in the default template is provided by the CardPanel whose name is Background. Perhaps you changed something else when you copied the template.
That did it! or i should say i finally understood it. I also had to set
Stretch
="Fill"
in addition to setting the Width and height properties, otherwise only a portion of the image would display.
It did create one GUI issue where what looks like a small box appears next to the image when a pane is unpinned. I have attached a screen shot. I have played with a few items in the ControlTemplate xaml but never made a difference. Any ideas?

I think I know how to do this in code behind but I'd preferr to do this in the Template so i don't have to keep doing it in code behind each time I add a pane to the xamDockManager control.
