Remarks

This property cannot be changed if the panel is currently floated.

Even if the AllowFloating property is set to false the panel can still be docked to another panel which is floated. Handle the DockManager.Docking event to control docking operations on panels.

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.
