Making a Windowed Control a Docking Site

Go Up to Implementing Drag and Dock in Controls

To make a windowed control a docking site

1. Set the DockSite property to True.
2. If the dock site object should not appear except when it contains a docked client, set its AutoSize property to True. When AutoSize is True, the dock site is sized to 0 until it accepts a child control for docking. Then it resizes to fit around the child control.
