How to control DockableControlPane behavior in the code
posted

I have written some code to add number of controls into an existing DockManager

 

 

DockablePaneBase[] panes = new DockableControlPane[x];

 

myDockManager.ControlPanes[myPan].DockAreaPane.Panes.AddRange(panes);

All controls appear in the DockArea as expected. 

The problem is they all come up like a stack one above the other virtically.

When drag and drop the control, they can be re-arranged to appear like a TAB.

My question is - can the DockAraaPane be configed to have all its child controls appear like a TAB control in the code?

I also tried the following code:

 

myDockManager.ControlPanes[myPan].DockAreaPane.GroupSettings.TabLocation = Infragistics.Win.UltraWinDock.

Location.Bottom;

 

 

 

 

However, the TABs still come up on the top. 

The following code does work but it affects all DockAreas.  (I have 3 DockAreaPane and I want to see one TAB top, the other TAB bottom).

 

myDockManager.DefaultGroupSettings.TabLocation = Infragistics.Win.UltraWinDock.

Location.Bottom;

Any suggestins would be appreciated.

    junshanghai,

    In order to add DockableControlPanes as tabs to a DockArea, you need to set its ChildPaneStyle property to TabGroup.

    With regards to your second issue, I was not able to reproduce the problem.  What version of NetAdvantage are you using?  The code I used to get a reference to the DockAreaPane and set its TabLocation and ChildPaneStyle properties is as follows:

                DockAreaPane dap = this.ultraDockManager1.DockAreas[1];
                dap.GroupSettings.TabLocation = Infragistics.Win.UltraWinDock.Location.Right;
                dap.ChildPaneStyle = ChildPaneStyle.TabGroup;
