Hi,
I want to enable drop shadow for the floating windows in RadDock. I tried the below code but it didn't work.
window.RootElement.EnableElementShadow = true;
window.RootElement.ShadowColor = Color.GreenYellow;
window.RootElement.ShadowDepth = 10;Is there a way to enable it?
Thanks

The floating window is actually a derivative of RadForm. Since RadForm is a derivative of the standard MS Form, making a shadow is more like a general programming questions. That is why it is recommended to follow some of the already referred approaches in this thread:
https://www.telerik.com/forums/windows-form-shadow
RadDock offers the FloatingWindowCreated event which allows you to replace the window with your custom implementation:
public RadForm1()
{
InitializeComponent();
this.radDock1.FloatingWindowCreated += radDock1_FloatingWindowCreated;
}
private void radDock1_FloatingWindowCreated(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.Docking.FloatingWindowEventArgs e)
{
MyFloatingWindow w = new MyFloatingWindow(this.radDock1);
e.Window = w;
}
public partial class MyFloatingWindow : FloatingWindow
{
public MyFloatingWindow(RadDock radDock) : base(radDock)
{
}
protected override CreateParams CreateParams
{
get
{
const int CS_DROPSHADOW = 0x20000;
CreateParams cp = base.CreateParams;
cp.ClassStyle |= CS_DROPSHADOW;
return cp;
}
}
}I hope this information helps. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me.
