Is there a cookbook or howto somewhere that is just a step-by-step guide to getting started with the WinDockManager (or UltraDockManager)? I'm just trying to modify an existing MDI application just as a proof of concept, and it's baffling me how to just get some rudimentary docked windows or panels going...
What I have at present is an MDI container window that spawns child forms, and I'd like one particular child form to be docked, instead of as a standard child window, since it's functionally not really a document. It's used to create documents, and it seemed to me that it would be more appropriate as a docked tool window or something like that.
So I guess my first question is whether or not I'm approaching this from the right angle, or should I create a different kind of container object (like a panel or usercontrol) and then move the functionality to that other container from the child form in question. I guess I'm feeling like I'm missing a fundamental piece of the conceptual puzzle, and once I get past that hurdle I should be off and running...
Thanks!
OK... after trying several searches I finally found the area in the documentation that covers docking, so I think I may be good to go now.
Hmmm... it's still not really clear to me how to transform an MDI child form into a docking toolbar... any suggestions?
