The DockableControlPane is the pane container for a dockable control. The contained by the pane is controlled via the property.

Control panes may be "unpinned". Unpinning a pane results in the pane no longer appearing within the bounds of its pane. Instead, a tab representing the pane is displayed in the based on the side that the is docked. The control pane can be displayed by either pausing the mouse over the tab in the unpinned tab area, clicking on the tab in the unpinned tab area, or selecting the pane from the context menu displayed when right clicking on the unpinned tab area.

To determine whether a control pane is currently unpinned, use the property. The method may be used to show the control contained by the unpinned control pane. The property as well as the and methods may be used to pin or unpin a control pane programatically.

Only docked control panes may be unpinned.

 Abstract base class for dockable panes.

The DockablePaneBase class implements the common functionality for all pane objects. Pane objects are the basic container class used by the .

The property returns a object that affects the behavior and appearance of the pane instance. The returns a instance to allow access to the resolved property values.

The property determines the caption for the pane. This string is used in the but also may be used in the tab if the property is not set.

The class implements methods for changing where a pane is docked. The method is used to switch between the docked and floating state of the pane. i.e. If a pane is currently docked but was previously floating, invoking this method will return the pane to that position. If the pane had never been floated, it will be displayed in a new . This method mimics the default behavior that occurs when the user double clicks on a pane caption, tab or sliding group element.

 Initializes a serialized DockablePaneBase. ID for the pane Id for the parent when floating Index in the floating parent's collection Id for the parent when docked Index in the docked parent's collection Initializes a new instance of the DockablePaneBase class. Initializes a new instance of the DockablePaneBase class. Key for the pane Initializes a new instance of the DockablePaneBase class. Key for the pane Text for the pane Constructor used during deserialization to initialize a new object with the serialized property values. The SerializationInfo instance that contains the data to be serialized. The StreamingContext instance which describes the source and destination of the serialized stream. Indicates if the property needs to be serialized. True if any of the properties on the object differ from the default values. Resets the properties of the to its default values. Indicates if the property should be serialized. True if the differs from the default value. Resets the to its default value. Indicates if the property should be serialized. True if the differs from the default value. Resets the to its default value. Resets the properties of the pane to their default values. Indicates if the pane object needs to be serialized. True if any of the properties of the pane differ from the default values. Serializes the objects non-default contents into the . The SerializationInfo instance that contains the data to be serialized. The StreamingContext instance which describes the source and destination of the serialized stream. Closes the pane.

Invoking this method is the equivalent of clicking the "X" button in the pane's caption area.

 Closes the pane and all of its descendant panes that have the same .

Invoking this method is the equivalent of clicking the "X" button in the pane's caption area.

 If True, all child panes will be closed. Used to ensure that the pane is displayed by updating the property of itself and its parent chain. Toggles the pane and its child panes between the last docked and floating states.

Invoking this method is equivalent to double-clicking on teh pane's title bar.

 Docks the pane and its children to a new DockAreaPane at the specified location. The new location

You can specify whether the pane should be docked at the top, bottom, left or right side of the client area.

 Docks the pane and its children to the DockAreaPane it previously occupied.

The maintainPreviousState parameter is used to determine how grouped floating panes should be re-docked. You can take panes from multiple docking areas and group them together in one floating pane group. You can then dock that floating group. When maintainPreviousState is set to True, the previous dock state of each pane is preserved, and docking the group will cause all of its panes to re-dock at their origninal locations. You can force the panes to remain together (and possibly change their docking location) when the floating group is docked by specifying False for the maintainPreviousState parameter.

If you invoke this method for a floating pane that has never been docked, the pane will dock along the right side of the client area.

 True if the floating pane(s) should be returned to the the docking area previously occupied. False will force multiple panes in a floating group to stay together when docked. Places the pane and any of its child panes into a floating window.

If the pane has previously floated, it will return to its former location. If the pane has never floated, a new floating window will be created for it. To specify what should occur when the pane is floated, use one of the overloads of this method.

 Places the pane and all of its child panes into a floating window.

You can specify whehter the pane should return to its previous floating location (if any) or if it should be placed in a new floating window.

 True if the pane(s) should be repositioned to its previous floating parent and return to its previous floating location (if any.) False if a new window should be created for the pane to float in. Note that if the pane had never been floated, this parameter has no effect, as a new window will always be created for the pane. Places the pane and all of its child panes into a floating window. True if the pane(s) should be repositioned to its previous floating parent and return to its previous floating location (if any.) False if a new window should be created for the pane to float in. Note that if the pane had never been floated, this parameter has no effect, as a new window will always be created for the pane. Location of the new floating window. This parameter is only used if maintainPreviousState is set to False and a new window is being created to hold the pane. Places the pane and all of its child panes into a floating window. True if the pane(s) should be repositioned to its floating parent. Bounds of the new floating window. This parameter is only used if maintainPreviousState is set to False and a new window is being created to hold the pane. Pins all of the descendant panes.

 Returns or sets whether the pane is maximized.

Set this property to True to maximize the pane.

 Returns the resolved value indicating whether the pane appears as maximized.

This property takes into account whether the pane is a sliding group or a tab group pane.

 Returns or sets whether the pane is minimized.

Set this property to True to minimize the pane.

 Returns the resolved value indicating whether the pane appears as minimized. Returns the level of nesting occupied by the current pane. This property is read-only.

This property specifies how deeply nested the pane is within other panes. For top-level (DockArea) panes, NestDepth returns 0. A pane nested inside a top-level pane will return 1.

 Returns the current size of the pane. Returns the parent that contains the pane when it is docked.

Even when a pane is floating in a window, it maintains a relationship with the pane to which it was previously docked. It will return to the dock area to which it was previously parented when it is re-docked (through code or by double-clicking on the pane's title bar.) While docked, the pane also maintains its relationship with the window in which it was previously floating.

 Returns the parent that contains the pane when it is floating.

Even when a pane is docked, it maintains a relationship with the pane in which it was previously floated. It will return to the floating pane in which it was previously displayed when it is re-floated (through code or by double-clicking on the pane's title bar.) While floating, the pane also maintains its relationship with the window in which it was previously docked.

 Returns the unique id that identifies the pane. Indicates if the pane is unpinned (visible at all times.)

Panes are pinned and unpinned using the "pin" button that appears in the tilte bar of the pane, beside the close button.

When panes are pinned, they automatically collapse to the edge of the container when not in use. Pinned panes are accessible via the tabbed interface bar that appears along the edge where the pane was pinned. Mousing over or clicking on the tab for the pane causes it to fly out and become accessible.

Returns the object containing the resolved group settings of the parent pane. Returns the object used to maintain the size information for the pane. Indicates if the InitializePane event has been fired for the pane. Returns the that represents the pane. Returns the that represents the content area of the pane. Returns the that represents the pane. Returns the that represents the pane. Returns the control that hosts the pane. Indicates if the size calculations should be suspended Returns the size of the pane when it has not been explicitly set. Returns or sets a value used to determine the size of the pane in proportion to other panes in the same docking area.

This size value does not necessarily equal the size actually used to display the pane. The property indicates the size at which the pane is currently displayed. The ratio of the Size properties of the child panes is used to determine the actual size of each pane.

it is neccesary to maintain two different size settings for each pane because of the way pane sizes are adjusted when one or more panes are hidden or pinned. For example, suppose there are two panes occupying a specific dock area and that the first one is one-third the width of the available space, with the second occupying the remaining two-thirds. If the second pane is hidden, the first (narrower) pane expands to fill the available space. Now suppose the second pane is unhidden. If the original size of each pane were not preserved in some way, there would be no way to restore the original proportions of the panes.

To solve this problem, the size of each pane is stored in two places. The Size property records the size of the pane and its proportion to other panes in a docking area. This information is preserved if the pane is hidden. It is only changed when the pane is resized. The DisplaySize property is used to indicate the actual size of a pane at any given time. Each time the pane changes size on the screen, the value of DisplaySize changes.

Note that the pane size preserved by the Size property is used to determine size ratios, and may or may not be used for the actual size of the pane. Continuing the example above, suppose that after the pane is hidden, the docking area is resized to half its width. When the pane is unhidden, the Size property is used to restore the original 1/3 to 2/3 proportions of the panes, although neither pane will be returned to the actual dimensions used when the two panes were originally displayed.

 Returns the amount of space used around the content area of a pane. Returns the actual size used to display the pane.

The DisplaySize property indicates the size at which the pane is currently displayed. The ratio of the properties of the child panes is used to determine the actual size of each pane.

 Pane with which to start the search. The visible pane that follows the specified pane. Returns the visible pane preceding the specified pane.

Use this method to return visible panes in a sequence from last to first. To determine which visible pane is last in a group, use the property. You can pass the pane returned by that property as a parameter to this method to begin the enumeration of visible panes.

 Pane with which to start the search. The visible pane that precedes the specified pane. Pins all of the descendant panes.

When a pane is pinned, its contents are displayed only while in use. At other times, the pane collapses into a tab at the edge of the docking area (the UnpinnedTabArea). The user may display the pane by clicking or hovering over the tab. Moving the mouse over the tab causes the pane to fly out; clicking the tab causes the pane to fly out and become activated.

Invoking this method pins all of the panes within a DockableGroupPane at once. The panes will become pinned to the dock area, and the UnpinnedTabArea will be displayed if it is not already showing. If one of the panes is active when it is pinned, it will immediately fly out and become visible. Note that the setting of on any pane may affect its ability to be pinned.

 Unpins all of the descendants.

Invoking this method unpins all of the panes in the group. The panes will become unpinned from the dock area, and can no longer be collapsed. If any pane is currently collapsed into the UnpinnedTabArea, it will immediately fly out and become visible. All tabs will be removed from the UnpinnedTabArea and the UnpinnedTabArea will be hidden.

 Iterates over the child panes showing any closed panes.

This method will examine each child pane in the group to determine whehter it is hidden. If so, the pane will be displayed. This has the effect of re-opening any panes that may have been closed by the user.

You can specify whether the panes that are shown should be pinned. Pinning the unhidden panes makes them available to the user but does not immediately display them and alter the layout of panes in the group. (Unexpectedly altering the group's layout of visible panes has the potential to confuse the user. By pinning the unhidden panes, only the UnpinnedTabArea changes appearance.)

 True if any unpinned child panes should be pinned. False to simply display panes in the group as they are unhidden. Returns the child pane style and key, if one was specified. A string consisting of the and . Activates the first activatable child pane. True if the control was able to take focus. Determines if the specified pane is a child of the group.

Indicates if a object has been created for the of the pane. True if a object has been created Returns an object providing the resolved values for the property.

The settings of the group contained by the property may contain properties that are set to a "use default" value, which indicates that the property is inheriting its value and does not specify which setting is in control of the group. The GroupSettingsResolved property returns a GroupSettings object with all of its properties set to meaningful values. You can use these values to determine how the group is actually being formatted.

 Returns or sets how the child panes are organized.

The available styles for the child panes include horizontal split, vertical split, tab group and sliding group. The setting for this property applies to all the panes in the dock area.

The horizontal split and vertical split styles simply divide the panes horizontally or vertically. Panes are either arranged from top to bottom or side-by-side, respectively. The TabGroup style causes all panes to occupy the full area of the DockableGroupPane, with tabs appearing at the bottom of the pane to enable the user to select each pane. SlidingGroup style arranges the panes in an interface similar to the Outlook bar; each pane occupies the full area of the DoockableGroupPane, and individual panes are selected by clicking on button-style headers.

 Indicates if the pane is being displayed.

A will not be displayed at runtime if there are no child panes being displayed. For example, if a docked vertical split type group pane contains 2 child instances, and both instnaces are either floating, unpinned or closed, then the group pane will not be visible. Also, if an ancestor pane is closed, the pane will not be displayed.

Contains various properties related to the Navigator functionality of the .

The Navigator feature of the provides an intuitive user interface for activating a pane or MDI child window managed by the UltraDockManager, as seen in Visual Studio 2005. This functionality is enabled by pressing Ctrl + Tab when the UltraDockManager's is an MDI parent form (i.e. the form's IsMdiContainer property returns true). If the UltraDockManager's host control is not an MDI parent form, the Navigator interface can be displayed by calling the method on the UltraDockManager.

The NavigatorSettings class contains properties that provide fine-grained control over various settings used by the Navigator user interface. For example, the property determines the general visual settings used all of the controls on the Navigator form. The property allows you to hide the area beneath the lists of items which provides detailed information regarding the currently selected item in the lists. The property can be set to false to prevent the Navigator user interface from displaying when the end-user presses Ctrl + Tab.


The of the UltraDockManager must be an MDI parent form for the Navigator user interface to be accessed by pressing Ctrl + Tab.

The UltraDockManager has several Navigator-related events that can be used to customize the runtime behavior of the Navigator feature: BeforeNavigatorDisplayed - Fires after the end-user summons the Navigator (via Ctrl + Tab), but before the Navigator is displayed. The event argument provides a Cancel property which can be used to suppress the Navigator UI from being displayed. InitializeNavigatorItem - Fires once for each item that appears in the Navigator lists. This event allows developers to supply the icon to display next to an item (assuming that the default image is not appropriate). Another property on the event argument specifies whether the item being initialized is in the list of Panes or MDI children. The developer can specify the display text for an item here as well. InitializeNavigatorItemDescription - Fires once for each item listed in the Navigator user interface, but only when the item has been selected by the end-user. Handlers of this event can specify text to be displayed in the description area on the bottom of the Navigator form. This event only fires if the property on the NavigatorSettings returns true. AfterNavigatorClosed - Fires immediately after the Navigator form has closed.

The PaneSettings object is used to affect the appearance and behavior of objects. The values of each property are initialized with default values. These default values are resolved by a instance that may be access from the pane's property.

The allow properties (e.g. , , etc.) are used to determine the behavior that may be performed on a pane. The padding properties (e.g. , etc.) determine the amount of space within the content area of the pane. The content area is similar to the client area of a control and excludes the area occupied by a pane's caption, tab elements, or sliding group element.

 Returns or sets whether the pane may be pinned or unpinned.

This property determines whether a pin button will be displayed in the pane's title bar. The user can click this button to pin or unpin the pane.

When a pane is unpinned, its contents are displayed only while in use. At other times, the pane collapses into a tab at the edge of the docking area (the UnpinnedTabArea). The user may display the pane by clicking or hovering over the tab. Moving the mouse over the tab causes the pane to fly out; clicking the tab causes the pane to fly out and become activated.

 Returns or sets whether the pane may be dragged.

If the pane is draggable, it may be repositioned to other docking areas or floated in its own window. Set this property to False to lock the pane into the docking area set up by the developer.

 Returns or sets whether the pane may be docked in the DockArea at the left side of the client area.

You can use this property to restrict the areas that a pane may be docked. One common usage would be to specify specific panes that can only dock horizontally or vertically.

 Returns or sets whether the pane may be docked in the DockArea at the top of the client area.

You can use this property to restrict the areas that a pane may be docked. One common usage would be to specify specific panes that can only dock horizontally or vertically.

 Returns or sets whether the close button is enabled for a pane.

The close button is displayed in a pane's caption area. Clicking the button hides the pane. When this property is set to False, the pane cannot be hidden (closed) except through code.

 Returns or sets whether the pane may be undocked and placed in its own floating window.

If this property is set to False, the pane may only be docked to the container area. The user can still move the pane to a different edge for docking.

 Returns or sets whether the maximize button is enabled.

For the maximize button to be visible on any pane, the property of the control must be set to True. The default value for ShowMaximizeButton is False.

The AllowMaximize property determines whether a pane can be maximized within a group. In order for a pane to be maximized, it must be in a group with at least one other pane, and the group cannot be a tabbed or sliding group. When a pane is maximized, all other panes in the group are reduced to their minimum size, showing only the title bar. (Note that this is not the same as being minimized.) Only one pane in a group may be maximized at one time. If a pane is maximized, and the user maximizes a second pane, the first pane is automatically restored.

How other panes in a group are resized to accommodate a maximized pane varies depending on whether the group is split horizontally or vertically. A horizontally split group will maximize the height of the maximized pane. Other panes will be reduced to a title bar above or below the maximized pane. If the group is vertically split, the width of the pane will be maximized, with the title bars of other panes appearing to the left or right of the maximized pane.

Typically, you will not make use of maximizing and minimizing of panes in the same group at the same time. Because of the requirement that one pane must fill the group area at all times, minimization and maximization do not behave exactly as they do for other windows. Therefore, you risk confusing the user of your application by providing both functions simultaneously.

 Returns or sets whether the minimize button is enabled.

For the minimize button to be visible on any pane, the property of the control must be set to True. The default value for ShowMinimizeButton is False.

The AllowMinimize property determines whether a pane can be minimized within a group. In order for a pane to be minimized, it must be in a group with at least one other pane, and the group cannot be a tabbed or sliding group. Minimizing a pane toggles its minimized state, which it maintains until you have restored it. When the minimized state is active, the pane will be minimzed if it is possible to do so. In a pane group, one pane must always be available to fill the area of the pane, so it is not possible for all panes to be minimized simultaneously. One pane will always fill the pane area, even it its minimized state must be ignored to do so. Also, note that a pane can be simultaneously minimized and maximized. The minimzed state will take precedence over the maximized state.

How other panes in a group are resized to accommodate a minimized pane varies depending on whether the group is split horizontally or vertically. A horizontally split group will reduce the minimized pane to a title bar above or below the other panes. If the group is vertically split, the title bars of the pane will appear to the left or right of the other panes. Note that the caption of the pane will be rotated when it is minimized in a vertically split group.

Typically, you will not make use of maximizing and minimizing of panes in the same group at the same time. Because of the requirement that one pane must fill the group area at all times, minimization and maximization do not behave exactly as they do for other windows. Therefore, you risk confusing the user of your application by providing both functions simultaneously.

 Returns or sets whether the state of a may be changed.

Set this property to False to prevent the user from changing the 'IsMdiChild' state of the control pane.

 Returns or sets whether the pane may be dragged into a tab group or used to create a new tab group.

Set this property to False to prevent the user from dragging the pane over the caption of another pane thereby creating a new tab group.

 Internal property. This property is used internally as a workaround for a serialization bug in Visual Studio that was introduced in version 1.1. Returns or sets whether the caption for the pane is displayed. Returns or sets the border style for the pane. Returns or sets the border style for the caption. Returns or sets the amount of padding to the left of the contents of the pane.

This property specifies the amount of blank space that will appear beween the contents of the pane and the pane's left edge.

 Returns or sets the amount of padding to the right of the contents of the pane.

This property specifies the amount of blank space that will appear beween the contents of the pane and the pane's right edge.

 Returns or sets the amount of padding above the contents of the pane.

This property specifies the amount of blank space that will appear beween the contents of the pane and the pane's top edge.

 Returns or sets the amount of padding below the contents of the pane.

This property specifies the amount of blank space that will appear beween the contents of the pane and the pane's bottom edge.

 Returns or sets the size for a fixed-width pane tab. Returns or sets the action that occurs when double clicking on a pane's caption, tab, or sliding group element.

By default when double clicking on the caption, tab or sliding group element of a pane, its state is toggled. If the pane was docked, the pane and any descendants are returned to their previous floating positions. If the pane was floating, the pane and any descendants are returned to their previous docked positions.

 Returns or sets the type of grab handle that will be displayed in the caption area of a pane.

By default, the presence and type of the grab handle is based on the resolved .

 Represents the resolved settings exposed by a pane's .

All of the properties of the object have default values that need to be resolved to determine the actual value. This allows the properties to be set for a single pane (), a group of sibling panes (), or for all panes ().

 Initializes a new PaneSettingsResolved instance Pane whose settings must be resolved. Returns whether the pane may be pinned or unpinned.

This property always returns the value that is in effect for the control. This property determines whether a pin button will be displayed in the pane's title bar. The user can click this button to pin or unpin the pane.

When a pane is unpinned, its contents are displayed only while in use. At other times, the pane collapses into a tab at the edge of the docking area (the UnpinnedTabArea). The user may display the pane by clicking or hovering over the tab. Moving the mouse over the tab causes the pane to fly out; clicking the tab causes the pane to fly out and become activated.

 Returns whether the pane may be dragged.

 Returns whether the maximize button is enabled.

For the maximize button to be visible on any pane, the property of the control must be set to True. The default value for ShowMaximizeButton is False.

The AllowMaximize property determines whether a pane can be maximized within a group. This property always returns the value that is in effect for the control.

In order for a pane to be maximized, it must be in a group with at least one other pane, and the group cannot be a tabbed group. When a pane is maximized, all other panes in the group are reduced to their minimum size, showing only the title bar. (Note that this is not the same as being minimized.) Only one pane in a group may be maximized at one time. If a pane is maximized, and the user maximizes a second pane, the first pane is automatically restored.

How other panes in a group are resized to accommodate a maximized pane varies depending on whether the group is split horizontally or vertically. A horizontally split group will maximize the height of the maximized pane. Other panes will be reduced to a title bar above or below the maximized pane. If the group is vertically split, the width of the pane will be maximized, with the title bars of other panes appearing to the left or right of the maximized pane.

A component for managing the docking and floating of controls on a form.

The UltraDockManager provides Visual Studio .Net style docking functionality, including the ability to unpin/autohide controls. Unpinned controls appear as tab items in the based on the side of the container that the owning is docked.

The docking functionality is controlled via 3 types of panes - , and instances. All 3 derive from . DockableControlPanes are the panes which directly contain and manage a specific control. DockableGroupPanes are panes that contain/group 2 or more DockablePaneBase instances. This means that it may contain any DockableControlPanes and other DockableGroupPanes. DockAreaPanes are specialized types of group panes. These panes are the root container for all other panes and may be either floating or docked to any side of the container.

Default settings that will apply to all panes can be set using the property. This can be overriden for all children of a particular group by modifying the group's . This can be further controlled at the individual pane level via the . Values are resolved by checking the specific pane's Settings, then checking the DefaultPaneSettings of the and finally the manager's DefaultPaneSettings.

The property returns the collection of instances. Each contains a collection of instances that it contains. These may be either or instances.

The property returns a collection containing all the instances managed by the component. The control panes within the collection may be referred to via index, key or the associated . Additional methods for locating panes include , , and .

The property will return the instance that contains the control which currently has the input focus. The and can be used to determine when the ActivePane changes.

The information managed by the UltraDockManager can be persisted and restored using the load and save methods. Separate methods exist for persisting the contents of the control to either a SOAP format ( and ) or to and from binary ( and ).

DesignTime: The UltraDockManager provides full support for design time functionality. Panes may be floated, docked and dragged just as they can at run time. Panes may also be unpinned at design time providing complete WYSIWYG control over the appearance of the product without the need to run the project to organize the panes. Controls may be docked by selecting undocked controls on the form, pressing right click and selecting "Dock Controls". A dialog is displayed to control how and where the controls are grouped. All the selected panes will be group together into a single . Panes may be undocked by right clicking on a docked control and unchecking the "Dock Controls" option. They may also be undocked by cutting or dragging the docked control out of the . An additional design time feature is the additional property tab available for docked controls. The property tab is displayed in the Visual Studio Properties window when one or more docked controls are selected. The property tab appears with the same icon as that used for the UltraDockManager. The property tab displays the properties for the associated with the docked control. This provides a convenient way to change properties for a specific docked pane (e.g. ).

When set to a color other than Color.Transparent (the default), all occurrences of the color in the image will be made transparent.

If an image is supplied by setting an Appearance.Image property to an Imagelist index, the ImageLists TransparentColor property is looked at first. If that property is set to Color.TransparentColor, then the component's ImageTransparentColor is used. If it is set to Color.TransparentColor, then no color masking is done.

If an image is supplied by setting the Appearance.Image property to an image, the component's ImageTransparentColor is used. If it is set to Color.TransparentColor, then no color masking is done.

 Gets/sets whether the associated dock controls support drag and drop operations.

By default, drag drop operations are enabled. If the mouse is moved over a sliding group or tab item during a drag drop operation, the associated pane is selected. If the mouse is moved over the tab item for an unpinned control pane during a drag drop operation, the control will flyout.

 Indicates if the dock manager can create mdi child forms for its dockable control panes. Returns or sets whether the tabs representing the unpinned objects should be compressed. When the tabs are compressed, which is the default value, only the image of the unselected tabs in a group are displayed. Returns or sets the style of tabs used to represent the unpinned dockable control panes. Returns the style used to render the unpinned tabs. Returns or sets the action that occurs when the mouse hovers over an unpinned tab.

By default, hovering the mouse over an unpinned tab will cause it to flyout.

 Returns or sets the style used to position the docked instances

When set to Standard, which is the default value, the docked instances are positioned along the edges of the container.

When set to FillContainer, the innermost DockAreaPane, the last visible DockAreaPane in the collection whose DockedState is Docked, fills the remaining space. This means that the dock area pane set to fill the available area may change as controls are docked and undocked since hiding, closing or unpinned all the panes in a dock area hides the associated dock area.

Note: When using FillContainer, if any control has their fill property set to false, there will be no fill pane. Also, since the dock areas implement the interface and are designed to be positioned towards the outside of the container, as occurs in Visual Studio, any other docked controls will be positioned above the filled dock area.
