In Code

The following code sample creates the same FloatGroup in code:

XAML

<dx:ThemedWindow

  xmlns:dxdo="http://schemas.devexpress.com/winfx/2008/xaml/docking">
  <dxdo:DockLayoutManager x:Name="DockLayoutManager1">
    <dxdo:LayoutGroup>
      <dxdo:LayoutPanel Caption="Panel1"/>
    </dxdo:LayoutGroup>
  </dxdo:DockLayoutManager>
</dx:ThemedWindow>

FloatGroup floatgroup = DockLayoutManager1.DockController.Float(Panel1);
floatgroup.FloatLocation = new Point(50, 40);
floatgroup.FloatSize = new Size(200, 150);

VB.NET

Dim floatgroup As FloatGroup = DockLayoutManager1.DockController.Float(Panel1)
floatgroup.FloatLocation = New Point(50, 40)
