Property Value

Type	Default	Description
ContainerControl	*null*	A System.Windows.Forms.ContainerControl that contains the current DocumentManager within.

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;

VB.NET

DocumentManager1.ContainerControl = Me
