Remarks
The Float method makes a document floating. To dock a document back to a container, use the IBaseViewController.Dock method.
The IBaseDocumentDefaultProperties.AllowFloat/IBaseDocumentProperties.AllowFloat properties allow you to prevent a document from being made floating. The IBaseDocumentDefaultProperties.AllowDock/IBaseDocumentProperties.AllowDock properties allow you to prevent a document from being docked.
To access all floating documents use the BaseView.FloatDocuments collection. Docked documents can be accessed via the BaseView.Documents collection.
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.
