The following properties accept/return BarContainerType values:

• BarContainerControl.ContainerType
• BarDockInfo.ContainerType

Remarks

When creating a bar container, you specify the container’s type via the BarContainerControl.ContainerType property.

When initializing a bar, you can dock it to a specific bar container via the Bar.DockInfo.ContainerType (BarDockInfo.ContainerType) property. The value assigned to this property must match the BarContainerControl.ContainerType property’s value of the required bar container.

To make a bar floating, set the Bar.DockInfo.ContainerType property to Floating. In this instance, there is no need to create a floating dock container.
