Gets or sets a control that contains the current DocumentManager.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraBars.Docking2010

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraBars.v23.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Win.Navigation

Declaration

C#

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

VB.NET

<DefaultValue(Nothing)>
<DXCategory("Behavior")>
Public Property ContainerControl As ContainerControl

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.

C#

documentManager1.ContainerControl = this;

VB.NET

DocumentManager1.ContainerControl = Me

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).
