When used together within the same form or user control, the DocumentManager and DockManager components gain additional features.

• Any DockPanel can be docked into a TabbedView as a tab. The DocumentManager creates a Document object to wrap this panel.

• The Document Selector shows both Document and DockPanel objects.

• Unified appearance for DockManager and DocumentManager docking guides. Handle the BaseView.ShowingDockGuides and DockManager.ShowingDockGuides events to manually control which of them should be visible.

• When a user drags a Dock Panel to a screen edge, the Windows Panel Snapping activates.
