Adding Docking Controls in userControl

created 5 days ago

I have a project which Main Form has several tabs and some tabs have different userControls that are configured in run-time, so my question is that I would like to add DockSite, DockPanels controls into an specific userControls, but it is not allowed (I am no sure why), therefore please advise a strategy of how to do that.

Thanks.

Hello Deidy,

I attached a sample project that illustrates how to create dock panels at runtime. Should you still encounter issues this way, please illustrate them and your current implementation in a sample project, so we can examine them.

P.S. If you wish to create and dock a panel programmatically, the following steps may help you determine the required parameters:

  1. Create a new project.
  2. Add a TdxDockSite and a couple of TdxDockPanels.
  3. Add a TdxDockingManager and set its DockStyle property to dsVS2005 so that you can see possible docking options.
  4. Add a debug point to the TdxCustomDockControl.DockTo method.
  5. Run the project and use the mouse to drag and drop panels in the way you wish to simulate in your real project.

This way, you can observe the TdxCustomDockControl.DockTo method's parameters and call it in your real project's code.



I hope this information will help you accomplish your task.

      Thank you Alex,

      And sorry I was wrong about my question, I meant to refer to TFrame (Instead of UserControl is the term in C#).

      Anyway I created a new ticked about it:
