Use this enumeration to get the design dock panels shown in the End-User Designer via the XRDesignDockManager.Item property.
The basic functionality for the design dock panels is implemented by the TypedDesignDockPanel class.
This example illustrates how to access and customize the Report Designer's dock panels.
All the Report Designer's dock panels inherit their settings from the DesignDockPanel class which is a DockPanel class descendant.
For this reason, you need to reference the DevExpress.XtraBars.v19.1 library in your application to be able to access the Report Designer's dock panel settings.
