Controlling docked forms

[Mark Calveric]

After programmatically docking a form ( or a control) to a docking manager via DockControl method.

What is the proper way to manipulate the properties of the docked form?

And, where is thge proper place to initiate this docking?

Hi Mark,

1) Could you please provide more information on what you mean by the dock form?. If you are referring to the DockHost, its not public. Is there any specific property that you are trying to set?

2) If some of the controls were docked using designer, then the NewDockStateEndLoad event handler is the proper place to dock additional controls. This is a stage where the docking manager is initialized and the serialized dock state has been loaded.

Thanks,

Stephen.
