Public Property ClientControl As Control
| Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Control | null |
A Control assigned to the current DocumentManager as a client control.
|
A control assigned to the ClientControl property is the only DocumentManager control displayed. The DocumentManager has no other documents objects to display. This mode is called the Non-Document Mode and is generally designed to interact with the DockManager component. The figure below shows an example of such interplay: the central application area is occupied by the DocumentManager in the Non-Document Mode with the GridControl assigned to its ClientControl property.
To set a specific control as a DocumentManager‘s ClientControl at runtime, you must first add this control’s instance to the form’s Controls collection. See the Non-Document Mode topic to learn more.
The following code snippet (auto-collected from DevExpress Examples) contains a reference to the ClientControl property.
