Declaration
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| type | DockType | A DockType value that specifies the side of the DockLayoutManager container where the LayoutPanel is docked. |
Returns

Remarks
If the type parameter is set to DockType.None or DockType.Fill, the AddPanel method creates a LayoutPanel object. However, it will not be displayed anywhere. To display the panel, you need to manually dock it to the root group or any other panel, for example, via the DockControllerBase.Dock method. Or, if you want to make this panel hidden, add it to the DockLayoutManager.ClosedPanels collection. To make the panel auto-hidden, add it to a AutoHideGroup. To make the panel floating, add it to a FloatGroup.
