#Remarks

This property determines whether a panel can be docked to another panel in any manner that would require an automatically created split container or tab container. I.e., when this property is false, users cannot dock this panel:

  • to the center of any other panel;
  • to a horizontally docked panel’s top or bottm;
  • to a veritally docked panel’s left or right.

Use the DockPanel.Dock property to determine which edge of a dock control the current panel is docked to or if the panel is floated.
