Property Value

Type Description
DevExpress.Xpf.Docking.Base.FloatingDocumentContainer

A FloatingDocumentContainer enumerator value that specifies the container for floating DocumentPanel objects.

Remarks

You can undock a DocumentGroup‘s child DocumentPanels from the parent group. The DockLayoutManager.FloatingDocumentContainer property specifies the undocked panel’s behavior.

When DockLayoutManager.FloatingDocumentContainer is SingleDocument, you can dock panels to a floating container.

When DockLayoutManager.FloatingDocumentContainer is DocumentHost, panels can float separately from each other. In this case, each floating DocumentPanel is hosted within a float group with the automatically created DocumentGroup inside. You can dock other floating panels to this container as in a regular DocumentGroup.

DockLayoutManager - FloatingDocumentContainer

You can dock entire floating containers to DocumentGroups or other floating containers. In this case, all panels are docked from this container to the target container or the DocumentGroup.
