Collapse Pane In GroupPane charts

Hi!

I am trying to use SciChartGroupPane and ChildPanes for my application, and
want to collapse a pane , so that the remaining space is filled with the remaining graphs.

I tried to set the visibility to collapsed but, when i do that the panes only disappear,
but the remaining pane does not resize.

As I see the panes have two small buttons on the upper right corner for collapse and close,
This collapse button is similar to what i would want but I have no idea how to reach the collapse
functionality throgh code. Is it possible to collapse a pane withouth removing it from the container
for the ItemTemplate?

Thanks
Chris

Hi Kristóf,

Thanks for your question. You can access the properties of SciChartGroupPane via the ItemContainerStyle property on SciChartGroup.
If you take a look at the “Multi pane stock charts” example, the style for ItemContainerStyle looks like this:

            <Style x:Key="ChartPaneStyle" TargetType="s:SciChartGroupPane">

            <Setter Property="Height" Value="{Binding PaneViewModel.Height, Mode=TwoWay}" />

….

So you should bind the Visibility property here to a property from your ViewModel, just like the Height property is bound.

And concerning the ClosePaneCommand, it is set just to remove a corresponding pane from the ChartPaneViewModels collection (that’s what ItemsSource is bound to). You can find the code in the constructor of CreateMultiPaneStockChartsViewModel.

Hope this helps!

Hi!

It sort of helped. Now I got all the panes collapsing except for the first one.
I attached a sample project, where I try to collapse all panes but the last one.
I would also need to have the closepane icon the x disappear from the topright
corner of the pane as well. Is there any way to do this?

Thanks
Kristóf
