Property Value

Type	Description
DockPanel	A DockPanel object representing the root panel of the current panel.

Remarks

Dock panels can form nesting layouts: panels can own other panels which in turn can also have child panels and so on. A panel’s immediate parent panel is determined by the DockPanel.ParentPanel property. The RootPanel property allows you to get the panel’s root panel - the topmost parent panel. A root panel is not owned by any dock panel.

All existing root panels can be accessed via the following properties:

• DockManager.RootPanels stores the visible floating and docked root panels which have their auto hide functionality disabled
• DockManager.AutoHideContainers provides access to the root panels which have their auto hide functionality enabled
• DockManager.HiddenPanels provides access to hidden root panels
