Hi Phil,
The
DockingManager has an
AutoDetectMdiChildForms property. When it set to
true and it's parent Form
IsMdiContainer property is set to
true, the
DockingManager automatically manages the MDI Children forms. You need to set the MdiParent property to the parent form:
| childForm.MdiParent = parentForm; |
The child form is automatically shown in the Tabbed document interface of the
DockingManager. The
MdiChildren property returns all child forms the same way as form's MdiChildren property. Every child form is hosted in
DocumentPane instance, and can be accessed through MdiChild property of the DocumentPane object.
Unfortunately, for the moment our DockingManager has the same behavior as most other docking managers, i.e. in Dock Fill mode it covers the whole MDI client area.
Sincerely yours,
Dimitar Kapitanov
