Property Value

Type	Default	Description
DefaultBoolean	Default	true if the hints are enabled; 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

To allow pages to be made floating, use the XtraTabbedMdiManager.FloatOnDrag property. The ShowFloatingDropHint property enables hints that help an end-user decide where to dock a floating page, when performing a drag-and-drop over the XtraTabbedMdiManager’s header area.

The DefaultBoolean.Default value assigned to the ShowFloatingDropHint property is interpreted as DefaultBoolean.True.

If the ShowFloatingDropHint property is set to False, a dragged floating page that is hovered over the XtraTabbedMdiManager’s header area for a specified duration, is automatically docked to the XtraTabbedMdiManager. This delay is specified by the XtraTabbedMdiManager.FloatMDIChildDockDelay property.
