[DockPanel-Suite]How do I make my window appear in the lower right corner programmatically?

This is a question about how to use dockpanel-suite. As you know, when a form is loaded first time, we can choose the dockstyle through setting the property ShowHint. Now I want a dock effect neither DockRight nor DockBottom, I want an effect "DockRightBottom" when the form is loaded for the first time. Now I can get this effect through a mannal drag and drop operation after the form is loaded.

As shown in the above picture, the properties window in the visual studio is docked in the lower right corner. How can I make my window shown in this Right Bottom position programmatically. Thanks a lot for all your instructions.

Solution

  • So to have panels shown side by side you can follow this article,

    http://docs.dockpanelsuite.com/en/latest/tutorials/basics.html

    The below code is modified a little bit to dock them on the right side,

    dmcDownloadMonitor.Show(dockPanel, DockState.DockRight);
amcActivateModsMonitor.Show(dmcDownloadMonitor.Pane, DockAlignment.Bottom, 0.5);

    You can see that we moved all documentation to this new site

    http://docs.dockpanelsuite.com

    So spare some time on it to see if there is anything else useful.
