Remarks
The figure below demonstrates the FloatPanelsAlwaysOnTop
property’s effect on dock panels.
The BarAndDockingController component has a corresponding DockingOptions.FloatWindowsAlwaysOnTop
property. This property specifies the floating panel behavior for all DockManagers whose FloatPanelsAlwaysOnTop
equals DefaultBoolean.Default. If no BarAndDockingController is present or its own property value is also “Default”, float panels are always drawn on top of their parent forms.
If floating panels are always drawn on top, they never show Minimize buttons (the DockManager.DockingOptions.ShowMinimizeButton property has no effect).
