Property Value

Type	Description
BarAndDockingController	A BarAndDockingController object representing the DefaultBarAndDockingController.

Remarks

The DefaultBarAndDockingController object maintains the default settings for bars, dock panels and Ribbon Controls.

Bars and dock panels use these default settings if the Controller properties of the BarManager and DockManager components are set to null. Similarly, the Ribbon Control is painted according to the settings of the DefaultBarAndDockingController if the RibbonControl.Controller is set to null.

To customize the DefaultBarAndDockingController you can use either of the following methods:

• place a DefaultBarAndDockingController component onto a form and obtain the default controller via the Controller property
• use the static BarAndDockingController.Default property. This can be accessed only via code.

For more information, refer to the Bar and Docking Controllers (Customizing Default View and Behavior Settings) document.
