DockingManager and sticking border of controls

I have a user control. It has 3 panels(controlled by docking manager) inside it. When I drag a panel near to boundary of another panel it should sense that other control is in the proximity and align to that border...I dont want docking manager to sugget me the positions...it should just stick together two borders when they are close...( similar kind of feature as observed in the winamp sub-windows. )

Hi Sameer,

Thank you for using Syncfusion products.

The requirement is possible if we drop a control on the target control. But it is not possible when the control is mouseover.Could you please provide more details in this regard? It will be more helpful in analysing the issue further.

Regards,

initially there are three windows winamp, video and playlist editor...all three independent. But I can drag one of the window near other and it senses that other window is in the proximity. It then rather than putting them in tabbed fashion or suggesting the calculated location ( happens generally with change of size and location of the dragged control) just attaches the borders of the windows togetther ( no change in the size, orientation etc... )
Can we do this?

Hi Sameer,

We are sorry to say that, with the current implementation of DockingManager we could not do the behavior. But we are ready to add a feature request in this regard. Please let us know if you need the feature.

Thanks,

Yes..please. As it gives user more freedom in terms of alignment.
Thanks,
