Hello Ching-Yen,

To hide the system buttons of DockPanel object you can set to false the following properties:

dockPanel1.CloseButtonVisible = false;
dockPanel1.HideButtonVisible = false;
dockPanel1.DropDownButtonVisible = false;

I hope this was helpful. If you have additional questions, please contact us.

These properties do not exist in the version I'm using 2009 Q3. Could you please provide assistance on how to do this for my version? Thanks.

Hello Eric,

This property is valid for the deprecated DockingManager control. For the RadDock control you can use ToolCaptionButtons property:

this.toolWindow1.ToolCaptionButtons = ToolStripCaptionButtons.None;

To show all system buttons, you can use:

this.toolWindow1.ToolCaptionButtons = ToolStripCaptionButtons.Close | ToolStripCaptionButtons.AutoHide | ToolStripCaptionButtons.SystemMenu;

I do not have that property. I have ToolTipTextNeeded and ShowItemToolTips but noToolCaptionButtons. I do however, have the enumeration for ToolStripCaptionButtons

Hi Eric,

I made a test with Q3 2009 release with RadDock control that support this functionality. Please view the attached screenshots for details.
