Remarks
When a user drags a dock panel away from an auto-hide container and leaves it floating, they can then right-click this panel’s header and select “Dock”. By default, this will dock a panel next to its former parent container, but the panel will remain visible. The figure below illustrates this default behavior.
If the AllowRestoreToAutoHideContainer property is enabled, after a end-user clicks “Dock” the panel will return to its original location inside the auto-hide container.
