HideToClosedPanelsCollection

#Remarks

When you close Dock Items they can either be immediately removed, or hidden and placed to the DockLayoutManager.ClosedPanels collection. You can choose a desired option via the ClosingBehavior and DockLayoutManager.ClosingBehavior properties. The ClosingBehavior property has a higher priority than the DockLayoutManager.ClosingBehavior property. If ClosingBehavior property is set to Default, the closing behavior is determined by the DockLayoutManager.ClosingBehavior property.
