Property Value

Type	Default	Description
DefaultBoolean	Default	true if an end-user has to press a keyboard Shift key in order to display Dock Guides when dragging a Document within the current TabbedView; otherwise, false.

Available values:

Name	Description
True	true. DefaultBoolean.True has a constant value of 0, while the standard true value corresponds to a value of 1. In Visual Basic, do not use implicit conversion of Boolean values to DefaultBoolean, and vice versa, as the conversion may produce incorrect results.
False	false. DefaultBoolean.False has a constant value of 1, while the standard false value corresponds to a value of 0. In Visual Basic, do not use implicit conversion of Boolean values to DefaultBoolean, and vice versa, as the conversion may produce incorrect results.
Default	The default behavior determined by the control’s logic.

Remarks

By default, dragging a Document within a TabbedView at runtime displays Dock Guides (see the image below), which remain visible until the Document is docked or released. If the ShowDockGuidesOnPressingShift property equals true, these hints will not be shown unless an end-user presses the keyboard Shift key.

The ShowDockGuidesOnPressingShift property affects united DocumentManager and DockManager docking hints as well, if both of these components are used within an application. See the Interaction with Dock Panels topic to learn more.
