Property Value

Type	Default	Description
DevExpress.XtraBars.Docking.Helpers.DockMode	**VS2005**	A DevExpress.XtraBars.Docking.Helpers.DockMode enumeration value that specifies the dock style.

Remarks

The Docking library allows use of one of two available dock styles. These are: Standard and VS2005. A dock style specifies the manner in which the dock mechanism works.

In the VS2005 style, the dock interface is like the one found in Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 in terms of appearance and behavior. You will see exactly where the dragged panel can be docked. Small markers will indicate sides where the panel can be docked:

DockModeStandard is the old dock style. It’s not supported in MS Windows operating systems that use Desktop Windows Manager (Windows Vista and Windows 7).
