I have taken four dockpanels( docked to left docking zone) in a docking manager, if i pin any of the dockpanel,  how can i auto hide any of the already pinned dockpanel. Now what i am getting when i pin another dockpanel is, it is pinned next to the already pinned dockpanel.

Hi vasu,

When you pin one tab group with DockPanels, you can unpin one of them and all DockPanels from this group will go in AutoHide state.

You can also do this by using the DockState property of one of the DockPanels in this tab group.

Hi Benkov,

Thanks for the reply, i have worked with the tab group model what you have said but, what i need here is the dock panels are not to be grouped in one panel.  So each panel is initialy docked to the left docking zone and from their if you pin one panel, if any of the panel that is already pinned should be in autohide state such that no two dockpanels are pinned at a time.

Sincerely yours,
Vasu

Hello Vasu,

You can use the following code snippet for this scenario:

public partial class DockForm : Form 
    public DockForm() 
    { 
        InitializeComponent(); 
    } 
 
    private bool processAutoHideLogic = false
 
    protected override void OnShown(EventArgs e) 
    { 
        base.OnShown(e); 
        foreach (DockPanel dockPanel in this.dockingManager1.GetManagedDockables()) 
        { 
            if (dockPanel != this.dockPanel1 && dockPanel.DockState != DockState.AutoHide) 
            { 
                dockPanel.DockState = DockState.AutoHide; 
            } 
        } 
 
        this.processAutoHideLogic = true
    } 
 
    private void dockingManager1_DockingStateChanged(object sender, DockingChangedEventArgs e) 
    { 
        if (this.processAutoHideLogic && e.DockState == DockState.Docked) 
        { 
            foreach (DockPanel dockPanel in this.dockingManager1.GetManagedDockables()) 
            { 
                if (e.DockObject != dockPanel && dockPanel.DockState != DockState.AutoHide) 
                { 
                    dockPanel.DockState = DockState.AutoHide; 
                } 
            } 
        } 
    }
