Remarks

You can undock a DocumentGroup ‘s child DocumentPanels from the parent group. The DockLayoutManager.FloatingDocumentContainer property specifies the undocked panel’s behavior.

When DockLayoutManager.FloatingDocumentContainer is SingleDocument , you can dock panels to a floating container.

When DockLayoutManager.FloatingDocumentContainer is DocumentHost , panels can float separately from each other. In this case, each floating DocumentPanel is hosted within a float group with the automatically created DocumentGroup inside. You can dock other floating panels to this container as in a regular DocumentGroup.

You can dock entire floating containers to DocumentGroup s or other floating containers. In this case, all panels are docked from this container to the target container or the DocumentGroup.
