public bool AllowDocking {get; set;}

Property Value

true if floating ToolWindows can become docked, as well as preventing currently docked ToolWindows from being docked in another location; false otherwise. By default, true.
Remarks

The AllowDocking property does not change the current state of ToolWindows (i.e.,. docked ToolWindows will remain docked even if AllowDocking is set to false).

This property only applies to end-user interactivity with ToolWindows; it does not prevent the state or visibility of ToolWindows from being changed programmatically.

To reset the value of the AllowDocking property to its default value, the ResetAllowDocking method must be called.

Requirements

Target Platforms: Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
