This example demonstrates the dynamic creation of ToolWindow instances and the AutoHide feature of the Docking Manager. The DockingManager control provides a container that holds dockable windows. This container can fill the entire client area of a Windows Form, or can be limited to any rectangular area you choose to manage. You can mix a docking implementation with traditional Windows Forms or Telerik RadControls on the same form.

In this example seven ToolWindow(s) are created and the last four are unpinned/hidden. There are four sides (left, top, right, bottom) that accept the hidden windows. When the pin button is clicked on a window that is docked, it is removed from the dock layout, and a tab appears on the proper side of the docking area. When you pass through an unpinned toolwindow, it shows and hides automatically when the mouse moves over the tab and leaves the toolwindow.
