Example
This example illustrates how to access and customize the Report Designer’s dock panels.
NOTE
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.v21.1 library in your application to be able to access the Report Designer’s dock panel settings.
