Namespace: DevExpress.XtraBars.Docking

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraBars.v23.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Win.Navigation

Declaration

public bool DockAsMdiDocument(
    bool activate
)

Parameters

Name Type Description
activate Boolean

true, to activate the docked panel; otherwise, false.

Returns

Type Description
Boolean

true if the operation has completed successfully; otherwise, false.

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.
