Event Data
The Docking event's data class is DockingEventArgs. The following properties provide information specific to this event:
| Property | Description |

| DragPoint | Gets the mouse pointer’s coordinates relative to the top left corner of the screen. |

Remarks
Handle the Docking event to perform actions while a dock panel is being docked. For instance, you can prevent the panel from being docked at a certain position.
End-users can dock panels to other panels that are owned by the dock manager or to the form (user control). The DockingEventArgs.TargetForm and DockingEventArgs.TargetPanel event parameters identify the target form and panel, respectively. The DockPanelEventArgs.Panel event parameter specifies the panel being docked.
To forbid the current dock operation, set the DockPanelCancelEventArgs.Cancel event parameter to true.
For more information on how the docking operations can be performed in code, see the Controlling Dock Operations document.
