    Hello DONG,

    you can use the Advanced Layout Designer to rearrange DockPanel in design time. When the layout is created dynamically in run-time, you can use following code snippet:

    DockPanel panel1 = new DockPanel(); 
    dockingManager1.SetDock(panel1, DockPosition.Left); 
     
    DockPanel panel2 = new DockPanel(); 
    dockingManager1.SetDock(panel2, DockPosition.Left); 
     
    DockPanel panel3 = new DockPanel(); 
    dockingManager1.SetDock(panel3, panel1, DockPosition.Bottom); 
     
    DockPanel panel4 = new DockPanel(); 
    dockingManager1.SetDock(panel4, panel2, DockPosition.Bottom); 
     
    DockPanel panel5 = new DockPanel(); 
    dockingManager1.SetDock(panel5, panel1, DockPosition.Bottom); 
     
    DockPanel panel6 = new DockPanel(); 
    dockingManager1.SetDock(panel6, panel2, DockPosition.Bottom); 
     
    DockPanel panel7 = new DockPanel(); 
    dockingManager1.SetDock(panel7, panel3, DockPosition.Bottom); 
     
    DockPanel panel8 = new DockPanel(); 
    dockingManager1.SetDock(panel8, panel4, DockPosition.Bottom);

    Hello.Julian
    Thank you for quick response.
    I have more questions about docpanel size.

    1. The code was fine for even number docpandels. When it apply at odd number docpandels, it was not woking. Could you tell me how can I align odd number docpanels in run-time?

    2. I added a new docpandel in run-time at left using PreferredDockSize property. But, it seemed not working.
    If I wrote code:
        panel.PreferredDockSize = (100, this.Height);
    I expected the panel will created as 100 pixel width. But it has always same size whether I define the size or not.
    How can I force a size for a new one?

    Hi DONG,

    When we have odd number of dockpanels, or want to change the size, we should calculate the size of the docking manager from the size of all panels and set it  directly using the Size property:

    private void Form3_Shown(object sender, EventArgs e)  
    {  
        DockPanel panel1 = new DockPanel();  
        dockingManager1.SetDock(panel1, DockPosition.Left);  
          
        DockPanel panel2 = new DockPanel();  
        dockingManager1.SetDock(panel2, DockPosition.Right);  
     
        panel3 = new DockPanel();  
        dockingManager1.SetDock(panel3, DockPosition.Right);  
     
        int width = dockingManager1.Size.Width / 3;  
        panel1.Size = new Size(width, panel1.Height);  
        panel2.Size = new Size(width, panel2.Height);  
        panel3.Size = new Size(width, panel3.Height);  
    }

    Hi. Julian
    I couldn't control the size using your code.The docs are not created expected size.Approximary the size of the first doc is 1/4 of docmanager, the second doc is also 1/4 and the thrid is 1/2.
    The docs are created always the size whether I use the Size property or not.

    Hello Gary,

    Thank you for writing.

    We have found issues related to the layout operation after changing the size from the Width or Height properties of DockPanel. These will be addressed in our upcoming release. Please use the Size property of DockPanel for the resizing operation.

    If you have any additional questions, please contact us.
