SetDockAbility

[Eric Ferro]

Hi
I want to limit the dock ability of a control to the left and right side.
So i do this :

this.dockingManager1.SetDockAbility(this.groupBar1, DockAbility.Right | DockAbility.Left);

But the control can still be dock anywhere.
Why ?

Hi Eric,

Thank you for using Syncfusion products.

You can use SetOuterDockAbility method instead of SetDockAbility. The following code snippet is used to dock the control only to the right.

[C#]
dockingManager1.SetOuterDockAbility(this.panel1, Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools.DockAbility.Right);

Please refer the below sample that illustrates the same.

Please let me know if this helps you.

Regards,
Jaya
