RadControls for WinForms
Contents
Represents the major control in the Telerik.WinForms.UI.Docking assembly. Root component for the entire docking framework. Provides highly extensible and completely transparent transaction-based API for managing a set of tool and document windows registered within the docking framework. Mimics the user experience found in Microsoft Visual Studio - dockable panes, tabbed documents, document navigation plus much more.

Examples

A typical scenario of utilizing a docking framework is as follows: Create a new RadDock instance.Create the desired ToolWindow and/or DocumentWindow instances.Register the newly created dock windows with the RadDock using the DockWindow or the AddDocument methods respectively.Add the new RadDock instance to a Form.Display the Form.

Remarks

Although a rare scenario, sometimes the need of nested RadDock instances may emerge. This is fully supported by the RadDock component and unlimited levels of nesting are allowed.
