#Remarks

The type parameter specifies how the first item is docked to the target item. Set the type parameter to DockType.Top, DockType.Left, DockType.Bottom or DockType.Right to dock the item to the corresponding edge of the target item. If this parameter is set to DockType.None, the item is not docked and the Dock method returns false.

To combine items into a tab group:

  1. set the _type_parameter to DockType.Fill.
  2. set the _target_parameter to a LayoutPanel or TabbedGroup.
