Hi Roman, Please use the docking client panel to hold the other non docked windows or controls. The DockingClientPanel control helps overcome this problem by providing an auto-resized client surface on which a form''s non-dockable controls may be located. Please take a look at the modified sample and let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for your interest in Syncfusion Products Regards, Vijay Modified Sample

Thanks it works fine. Only one thing. i removed a OptionCOntorl from the form. Then placed again, but looks like no rection from docking Manager. Means i set property SetEnableDocking and SetLabel in InitializeComponent, but nothing happen. Kind of confusion.

Thanks.

Hi Roman,

When you are using DockingClientPanel you need to keep DockingClientPanel.SizeToFit Property to false before removing any controls.
Else the DockingClientPanel will occupy the newly freed space.Then, on the second time when you are placing controls they will be hosted to DockingClientPanel. It causes DockingManager not to respond to them(No availability of EnableDocking On dockingManager1 property).

Please note DockingManager will respond to the controls which are hosted to the same form to which it belongs. Please let me know if you need further assistance.

I did not use yet DockingClientPanel. I simply placed Windows panel and dockingManager on form,
set all properties.
It works in run time (sometime), but does not work at design time, like in Symbol Designer sample. Please provide exec steps to create any docking type control like OptionControl simular to Symbol Designer project, in design time mode.
Looks like i am missing somethings.

Thanks

Hi Roman,

From your previous post ,I assume that you are changing the code in ''InitialiseComponent'' method.In such a situation ,if you stay in code window and run your program, there will be no problem.Else the changed code will be reverted back to designer generated code ,once you switched to design mode.This may be the problem that your are getting correct behaviour at sometime.

You could also refer our documentation regarding "Docking the controls at design time" to get a clear cut idea.

1.Select ''View Documentation'' from Startmenu->Programs->Syncfusion->Essential studio [version]->Documentation 2.Select ''Content'' Tab in the left window.
3.Navigate to Syncfusion Essential studio->Essential tools->Windows Forms->Packages->Docking Windows Package->Tutorial->Lesson 1: Designing a Docking windows layout

Long time ago i sent message to Syncfusion that my help does work. The way you described to find particular documentation does not work. Browser doesn''t contain even a single line.
Should i reinstall package again ?
Also,forum is good thing, but this not an issue for me when each day is very valuable for me in terms of time. I need very quick response.Do you have one ?

Thanks.

Another thing.
Another thing. Window form title bar become inactive when contain dockingmanager in MDI environment, while form is activated.
Scenario: Create MDI app. Place docking manager on Form2. Show Form1 and Form2 as MDI child. Title bar of the Form2 will be inactive after Form2
Appeared. To make Form2 active focus must be switched to Form1 and the back to Form2
Any suggestions?
With regards Roman.
