DocumentManager.ContainerControl Property

Gets or sets a control that contains the current DocumentManager.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraBars.Docking2010

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraBars.v24.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Win.Navigation

#Declaration

[DefaultValue(null)]
[DXCategory("Behavior")]
public ContainerControl ContainerControl { get; set; }

#Property Value

Type Default Description
ContainerControl null

A System.Windows.Forms.ContainerControl that contains the current DocumentManager.

#Remarks

Use the ContainerControl property to set a ContainerControl (such as a UserControl) for a DocumentManager. Using this feature, you can add as many Document Managers to your application as required.

If you use WindowsUIView with a start-up TileContainer that should support touch scrolling, clear the DocumentManager.MdiParent property and assign the parent form to the ContainerControl property instead.

documentManager1.ContainerControl = this;

Note

WindowsUIView is designed to occupy an entire Form. Do not attempt to limit the DocumentManager’s size by wrapping it into a User Control (the ContainerControl property).

The following code snippet (auto-collected from DevExpress Examples) contains a reference to the ContainerControl property.
