TdxDockSite.ShowingControl Property

Enables you to show and hide those controls with the auto hide feature enabled.

Declaration

property ShowingControl: TdxCustomDockControl read; write;

Property Value

Type
TdxCustomDockControl

Remarks

You can enable the auto hide feature for a control by setting its AutoHide property to True. In this case, the control will be automatically hidden unless it is active or the mouse pointer is over it. A label referencing the control will be displayed at the dock site’s edge. Pointing to this label with the mouse makes the control visible.

You can also change such control visibility via code. The ShowingControl property is used for this purpose. Assign a dock control to this property to make it visible. The control previously shown is hidden in this case. If you need to hide all auto hide enabled dock controls, set the ShowingControl property to nil.

If the dock control’s auto hide feature is not enabled, assigning this control to the ShowingControl property has no effect.
