WPF RadDocking Sample Declaration

In order to add an icon to the RadPane's header, you should create a custom data template and set it to the HeaderTemplate property of the RadPane. Consider the following example.

<UserControl.Resources> 
 
    <DataTemplate x:Key="HeaderTemplate"> 
        <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal"> 
            <TextBlock Text="{Binding}"/> 
            <Image Source="Icon.jpg" Width="16" Height="16"/> 
        </StackPanel> 
    </DataTemplate> 
 
</UserControl.Resources> 

Set the created data template to the HeaderTemplate property of the RadPane.

<telerik:RadDocking x:Name="radDocking1"> 
    <telerik:RadSplitContainer> 
        <telerik:RadPaneGroup> 
 
            <telerik:RadPane Header="Pane 1" HeaderTemplate="{StaticResource HeaderTemplate}"> 
                <TextBlock Text="Some simple text here"/> 
            </telerik:RadPane> 
 
        </telerik:RadPaneGroup> 
    </telerik:RadSplitContainer> 
    <telerik:RadSplitContainer> 
        <telerik:RadPaneGroup > 
 
            <telerik:RadPane Header="Pane 2" HeaderTemplate="{StaticResource HeaderTemplate}"> 
 
                <TextBlock Text="Some simple text here"/> 
            </telerik:RadPane> 
        </telerik:RadPaneGroup> 
    </telerik:RadSplitContainer> 
</telerik:RadDocking> 

Here is the final result:
