Class DockingClientPanel

Represents a Panel derived control for use with the Essential Tools Docking Windows framework.

Inheritance
System.Object
DockingClientPanel
Namespace: Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools
Assembly: Syncfusion.Tools.Windows.dll
Syntax
public class DockingClientPanel : Panel
Remarks

The DockingClientPanel is a subclass of the System.Windows.Forms.Panel control and implements a docking layout aware container that may be used for hosting the non-dockable controls on the Form or ContainerControl that houses the DockingManager. By virtue of it being aware of the docking layout, the DockingClientPanel's bounds are automatically repositioned or resized when the container's client area changes during the course of docking/undocking operations. Controls placed on the DockingClientPanel can thus avail of it's static boundary for implementing any required layout management.

NOTE: The DockingClientPanel should not be used in MDIContainer forms as the equivalent functionality is provided by the MDIClient window.
