Property Value

Type	Description
String	A string that specifies the name of the bar container.

Remarks

Each dock panel contains a bar container at the top edge that accepts bars from the DXBars library. This allows you to display bars within dock panels. To display a bar within a dock panel, do the following:

• Assign a unique name to the dock panel’s bar container via the HeaderBarContainerControlName property.
• Assign the same name to the Bar.DockInfo.ContainerName (BarDockInfo.ContainerName) property.

Note

The HeaderBarContainerControlName property is supported for LayoutPanel and DocumentPanel objects.

Example

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.
