Please help me , thanks

Hi there,

I didn't know what a docking manager was so i had a look at the control to see, essentially you need to add panels of controls (or user controls i suppose) to the dockingmanager control as dociking windows. You are better off just exploring and testing this your self to find which methods you prefer but this should example should get you going:

add three panels to your form, load in to the panels some random controls so that you can see what the effects would be then add a dockingmanager control

use the following code to get an idea of what it looks like

DockingWindow dw1 = new DockingWindow();
dw1.Controls.Add(panel1);
dw1.Text = "dock window 1";
panel1.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
DockingWindow dw2 = new DockingWindow();
dw2.Controls.Add(panel2);
dw2.Text = "dock window 2";
panel2.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
DockingWindow dw3 = new DockingWindow();
dw3.Controls.Add(panel3);
dw3.Text = "dock window 3";
panel3.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
DockingWindow[] dws = new DockingWindow[3];
dws[0] = dw1;
dws[1] = dw2;
dws[2] = dw3;
dockingManager1.AddAutoHiddenWindows(DockStyle.Top, dws);

change the last line of code to add different types of dockable windows to see the different methods of docking
