IBaseViewController.Dock(BaseDocument) Method

Docks the specified document to a View.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraBars.Docking2010.Views

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraBars.v23.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Win.Navigation

Declaration

bool Dock(
    BaseDocument document
)

Parameters

Name Type Description
document BaseDocument

A BaseDocument object to be docked to a View.

Returns

Type Description
Boolean

true if the operation was a success; otherwise, false.

Remarks

The Dock method docks a document, while the IBaseViewController.Float method makes it floating.

By default, documents within a NativeMdiView can be dragged only within the View’s bounds. These documents are considered “docked”. When you make a document floating within a NativeMdiView, it can be dragged outside the View. To “dock” a document back to a NativeMdiView, so it can be dragged only within the View’s bounds, call the IBaseViewController.Dock method.
