public ReadOnlyPanelCollection Panels { get; }Property Value
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| ReadOnlyPanelCollection | A ReadOnlyPanelCollection object representing the collection of dock panels. |
Remarks
The Panels property provides access to all the dock panels owned by the current dock manager. The collection object which is returned contains the visible, hidden and auto-hidden dock panels. The returned collection is read only. You can only access panel(s) or determine whether a collection contains a particular panel. Refer to the Creating and Destroying Dock Panels document for information on how to create and destroy dock panels.
To access only the hidden or auto-hidden panels, use the DockManager.HiddenPanels and DockManager.AutoHideContainers properties, respectively.
Note
The Panels collection’s items can only be accessed after the form is loaded. Do not attempt to access it within a form constructor, since the Panels collection will be empty at that moment. Handle the form’s OnShown or OnLoad events instead (see the code below).
protected override void OnShown(EventArgs e)
{
base.OnShown(e);
foreach (DevExpress.XtraBars.Docking.DockPanel pane in dockManager1.Panels)
{

}
