Public Property ContainerControl As ContainerControl
| Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ContainerControl | null |
A System.Windows.Forms.ContainerControl that contains the current DocumentManager.
|
Use the ContainerControl property to set a ContainerControl (such as a UserControl) for a DocumentManager. Using this feature, you can add as many Document Managers to your application as required.
If you use WindowsUIView with a start-up TileContainer that should support touch scrolling, clear the DocumentManager.MdiParent property and assign the parent form to the ContainerControl property instead.
documentManager1.ContainerControl = this;
DocumentManager1.ContainerControl = Me
Note
WindowsUIView is designed to occupy an entire Form. Do not attempt to limit the DocumentManager’s size by wrapping it into a User Control (the ContainerControl property).
The following code snippet (auto-collected from DevExpress Examples) contains a reference to the ContainerControl property.
