Property Value

Type	Default	Description
DefaultBoolean	Default	A DefaultBoolean value that specifies the orientation of dock panels in a split container.

Available values:

Name	Description
True	true. DefaultBoolean.True has a constant value of 0, while the standard true value corresponds to a value of 1. In Visual Basic, do not use implicit conversion of Boolean values to DefaultBoolean, and vice versa, as the conversion may produce incorrect results.
False	false. DefaultBoolean.False has a constant value of 1, while the standard false value corresponds to a value of 0. In Visual Basic, do not use implicit conversion of Boolean values to DefaultBoolean, and vice versa, as the conversion may produce incorrect results.
Default	The default behavior determined by the control’s logic.

Remarks

If the current panel is a split container that is docked to the form/user control and the DockVertical property is set to true, the container’s children will be arranged vertically. Otherwise, the container’s child panels will be arranged horizontally.

The DockVertical property can be set for a split container, or for a panel which will be used to create a split container (this is the panel to which another panel is docked when a split container is created).

When a panel is floating, use the DockPanel.FloatVertical property to choose between the vertical and horizontal orientation of the panel’s children.
