Undocking a ToolStrip from a ToolStripPanel


Out of the box, there doesn't appear to be any built-in support for allowing your end-users to undock the ToolStrips in your applications from their parent ToolStripPanels. Clearly it's possible because even your Visual Studio IDE allows you to undock/tear-off/float your tool strips, it's just isn't possible with the default behavior of the ToolStrip and ToolStripPanel.

So, does anyone have an advice? I'd like to allow our end users to be able to tear-off ToolStrips, and have them float freely wherever they'd like them.


Solution

  • There doesn't seem like there's much around to do this.

    There's a CodeProject article A Simple C# Toolbar Docking Framework, that looks to be a more light-weight option than DockPanel suite.
