How to: Add controls to a panel

  • Nov 13, 2018

In the following example a new panel is created and floated. Then a property grid is added to the panel and this lists the dock panel’s properties. To add visual controls to the panel, the DockPanel.ControlContainer property is used. The result is shown below:

csharp
using DevExpress.XtraBars.Docking;
// ...
// Create a floating dock panel.
DockPanel panel1 = dockManager1.AddPanel(DockingStyle.Float);
panel1.Text = "Panel 1";
// Create a property grid and place it on the panel.
PropertyGrid pGrid = new PropertyGrid();
panel1.ControlContainer.Controls.Add(pGrid);
pGrid.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
pGrid.SelectedObject = panel1;
vb
Imports DevExpress.XtraBars.Docking
' ...
' Create a floating dock panel.
Dim panel1 As DockPanel = DockManager1.AddPanel(DockingStyle.Float)
panel1.Text = "Panel 1"
' Create a property grid and place it on the panel.
Dim pGrid As PropertyGrid = New PropertyGrid
panel1.ControlContainer.Controls.Add(pGrid)
pGrid.Dock = DockStyle.Fill
pGrid.SelectedObject = panel1
