Basically I need a form that divided into two halves with a horizontal split. The top panel will be divided in to two dockable group boxes with a vertical split between them. However, the vertical split should only split the top panel. The bottom panel will have 3 dockable group boxes. 2 of them will have ultratab controls inside of them. I also need vertical split between each of dockable group boxes in the bottom panel that only splits the bottom panel.
The group boxes will only be able to be docked to its original panel. Controls in the top panel can’t be docked to the bottom panel and controls in the bottom panel can’t be docked to the top panel.
Hello Wcarr,
Maybe one possible approach to achieve the desired behavior is by using two different ContainerControls and one SplitContainer. Each UltraDockManager will have HostControl one of these ContainerControls. Could you please take a look at the attached sample for more details. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
Regards
I am running into a similar problem and quite frankly, the solution described here is not helpful at all. Simply because of the proper name reference to "ContainerControls". I have .NET WinForm v11 and there is no control called "ContainerControls".
Here's my problem:
I put an UltraStatusBar on my form and then proceed to add some UltraTabControl items as dockable items. Each dockable item appears BENEATH the status bar.
I don't understand why UltraDockManager is NOT respecting the control boundaries set by the UltraStatusBar. I thought I might try using a Panel control to fill the space above it and then "somehow" add my UltraTabControls in there but that was a futile effort.
I love Infragistic controls but sometimes I scratch my head and wonder why some things can't be simpler.
Is there a solution for this? If so, please tell me exactly how to go about it. Thanks so much!!!
