Pane Types
Updated on Oct 22, 2025
The Blazor DockManager component exposes the ability to configure different pane types.
When defining pane types, the naming convention follows the structure <DockManagerTypePane>, where Type specifies the behavior of the pane. The available types are:
Content Pane
Provides full control over explicitly defining custom content to be rendered for a given pane based on specific requirements.
- It can be a direct child of all other panes and the
<DockManagerPanes>tag. - The
DockManagerContentPanecannot have child panes.
TabGroup Pane
Groups panes in a tab strip, similar to the TabStrip component. Users can navigate through panes using tabs in the header.
- It can be a direct child of
<DockManagerSplitPane>. - It can only contain
<DockManagerContentPane>children.
Split Pane
Organizes panes in a Splitter-like manner, allowing the container pane to be split either horizontally or vertically.
- It can be a direct child of another
<DockManagerSplitPane>. - It can contain
<DockManagerTabGroupPane>,<DockManagerContentPane>, and other<DockManagerSplitPane>tags as children. - Only this pane type can be declared as a direct child of the
<DockManagerFloatingPanes>tag.
Examples
Check the DockManager Overview and DockManager Events articles for examples that include all pane types.
