Xceed.DockingWindows Namespace > DockLayoutManager Class : AllowFloating Property
Gets or sets a boolean value indicating whether docked ToolWindows can become floating.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
<DescriptionAttribute("Indicates if docked ToolWindows can become floating.")>

<CategoryAttribute("Behavior")>

Public Property AllowFloating As Boolean
'Usage
 
Dim instance As DockLayoutManager

Dim value As Boolean

 

instance.AllowFloating = value

 

value = instance.AllowFloating
[Description("Indicates if docked ToolWindows can become floating.")]

[Category("Behavior")]

public bool AllowFloating {get; set;}

Property Value

true if docked ToolWindows can become floating; false otherwise. By default, true.
Remarks

The AllowFloating property does not change the current state of ToolWindows (i.e., . floating ToolWindows will remain floating even if AllowFloating 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 AllowFloating property to its default value, the ResetAllowFloating 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
