How to embed a bar into a dock panel

• Jun 07, 2019

This example shows how to embed a bar from the Bars library into a dock panel.

Dock panels embed bar containers at their top edges, allowing bars to be displayed in these containers. To add a bar to a dock panel’s bar container, the name of the target bar container is assigned to the BarDockInfo.ContainerName property. This name matches the name of the LayoutPanel.HeaderBarContainerControlName property’s value.

    </dxb:Bar.DockInfo>
    <dxdo:LayoutPanel x:Name="paneToolbox1" Caption="Toolbox1" HeaderBarContainerControlName="paneBarContainer1">
    </dxdo:LayoutPanel>
