Remarks

The SnapMode property accepts one or multiple values of the SnapMode enumerator. Each value allows dock panels to snap to specific targets when end-users drag these panels at runtime.

• OwnerControl - dock panels snap to a parent control (not a form) that owns this DockManager component.
• OwnerForm - dock panels snap to the owner form’s bounds.
• Screens - dock panels snap to screen edges.
• SnapForms - dock panels snap to each other and sticky windows.
• All - dock panels snap to any available target mentioned above.
• None - dock panels do not snap.

See the Snap Window Behavior article to learn how to implement window snapping for controls that do not support it out-of-the-box.
