TdxVertContainerDockSite Class

Represents the vertical side container.

Declaration

TdxVertContainerDockSite = class(
    TdxSideContainerDockSite
)

Remarks

When a control is docked to the top or bottom edge of another control, an underlying vertical side container is created. The controls become children of the container thus created. All child dock controls of such containers are arranged vertically one under another. End-users can maximize controls so that they fill the entire container’s area. This is done by pressing the maximize button within the control’s caption. When a control is maximized, other controls within the container display their captions only. Note that pressing the button again restores the previous size of the control.

The image below shows the appearance of a vertical side container (the Solution Explorer window is maximized).

You can provide default settings for such containers created as the result of docking operations. Use the DefaultVertContainerSiteProperties property of the docking manager for this purpose. Additionally, you can initialize such dynamically created vertical side containers by handling the manager’s OnCreateSideContainer event.

Please refer to the Side Container Sites topic for additional information on side containers.
