Hi,
I am developing a winforms app using dock with a single tool window,  currently I have tool window located in the top.  I really want it to display as it would if it were in the middle but for styling reasons I prefer a tool window to a document window. 

So the result right now is an odd space below the tool window and the splitter that divides the tool window from the odd blue space.  is there any way to put a tool window in the center, or to make the splitter disappear and lock the tool window so if the user alters the size of the form the tool window will grow in size as well as opposed to the blue space growing as well.  I have attached a picture so you can see the blue space separator/splitter I am talking about.
thank you in advance for your help.

Hello Regina,

As far as I'm aware, this isn't possible as the space at the bottom is actually the RadDock Root Element that has a reserved space. You could however add a tabbed document but then hide the tab itself using the following

this.documentWindow1.TabStrip.TabStripElement.Visibility = ElementVisibility.Collapsed;

Hope that helps, but let me know if you have any questions

Hello regina,

Thank you for contacting us.

Please refer to the following documentation article which answers your question: Creating a RadDock at Runtime.

I hope that you will find this information helpful.

Hi Regina / Nikolay,

My apologies for giving incorrect information.

@Regina - The code as per the documentation works as follows
ToolWindow toolWindow1 = new ToolWindow();
toolWindow1.Text = "A ToolWindow";
radDock1.DockWindow(toolWindow1, DockPosition.Left);
radDock1.MainDocumentContainerVisible = false;

regards,
Richard
