Bar Dock Controls

ExpressBars supports built-in docking capability for toolbars. A toolbar can float, or can be docked to any side of a container (see a toolbar’s DockingStyle property). This is possible because when a bar manager is created, it automatically creates dock controls at the edges of the parent form or frame (see TdxDockControl).

Traditionally, a toolbar’s dock sites are limited by the parent form’s or frame’s sides. If you are designing a more advanced docking layout for toolbars and you want to provide additional dock areas for them (within a panel, for instance), use the TdxBarDockControl component. This component allows you to make any child container in your application a dock area for toolbars.
