Name	Type	Description
item	BaseLayoutItem

A BaseLayoutItem object to be closed.

Type	Description
Boolean

true, if the item is successfully closed; otherwise, false.

After a panel is closed, it can either be completely removed, or stored in the DockLayoutManager.ClosedPanels collection. This depends on the BaseLayoutItem.ClosingBehavior and DockLayoutManager.ClosingBehavior property values. An item’s close behavior setting overrides a dock layout manager’s close behavior setting.

You can also set the BaseLayoutItem.Closed property to true to close the item.

An end user can access the DockLayoutManager.ClosedPanels collection with the Closed Panels bar.

Note

You cannot close an item if the BaseLayoutItem.AllowClose property is false.

Use the BaseLayoutItem.CloseCommand to specify a command that should be executed when the item is closed.
