Remarks
The DockAsMdiDocument
method is equivalent to the IBaseViewController.Dock method. The method is not supported when docking a DockPanel to NativeMdiView objects.
When a panel is docked to a DocumentManager, it becomes a document belonging to this DocumentManager. To work with panels transformed into documents, use the methods provided by the TabbedView.Controller object. The document that corresponds to a dock panel can be accessed with the DocumentManager.GetDocument method.
This example docks and undocks the MDI dockPanel1:
void simpleButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
if (documentManager1.GetDocument(dockPanel1) != null) {
tabbedView1.Controller.Float(dockPanel1);
simpleButton1.Text = "Dock as MDI";
}
else {
dockPanel1.DockAsMdiDocument(true);
simpleButton1.Text = "Undock/Float";
}
}
