Type	Description
AutoHideType	The panel’s position.

Remarks

When the layout consists of a single panel, the panel is auto-hidden to the Left.

The following code sample docks the AutoHideGroup to the DockLayoutManager‘s bottom when it is hidden and to the right when the group is expanded:

XAML

<dx:ThemedWindow 
  ...
  xmlns:dx="http://schemas.devexpress.com/winfx/2008/xaml/core"
  xmlns:dxdo="http://schemas.devexpress.com/winfx/2008/xaml/docking">
  <dxdo:DockLayoutManager>
    <dxdo:DockLayoutManager.AutoHideGroups>
      <dxdo:AutoHideGroup DockType="Right">
        <dxdo:LayoutPanel Caption="Panel1" dxdo:AutoHideGroup.AutoHideType="Bottom">
          <!-- Content -->
        </dxdo:LayoutPanel>
      </dxdo:AutoHideGroup>
    </dxdo:DockLayoutManager.AutoHideGroups>
  </dxdo:DockLayoutManager>
</dx:ThemedWindow>

A panel’s AutoHideType property sets to Default each time you re-dock the panel. You can handle the DockLayoutManager.DockItemEndDocking event to get a notification when a panel is being docked and then set the AutoHideType property.
