Data Members

Name	Description
CDockingManager::m_bHideDockingBarsInContainerMode	Specifies whether the docking manager hides panes in OLE container mode.
CDockingManager::m_dockModeGlobal	Specifies the global docking mode.
CDockingManager::m_nDockSensitivity	Specifies the docking sensitivity.
CDockingManager::m_nTimeOutBeforeDockingBarDock	Specifies the time, in milliseconds, before a docking pane is docked in immediate docking mode.
CDockingManager::m_nTimeOutBeforeToolBarDock	Specifies the time, in milliseconds, before a toolbar is docked to the main frame window.

Remarks

The main frame window creates and initializes this class automatically.

The docking manager object holds a list of all panes that are in the docking layout, and also a list of all CPaneFrameWnd windows that belong to the main frame window.

The CDockingManager class implements some services that you can use to find a pane or a CPaneFrameWnd window. You usually do not call these services directly because they are wrapped in the main frame window object. For more information, see CPaneFrameWnd Class.

Customization Tips

The following tips apply to CDockingManager objects:

CDockingManager Class supports these docking modes:
- AFX_DOCK_TYPE::DT_IMMEDIATE
- AFX_DOCK_TYPE::DT_STANDARD
- AFX_DOCK_TYPE::DT_SMART
These docking modes are defined by CDockingManager::m_dockModeGlobal and are set by calling CDockingManager::SetDockingMode.
If you want to create a non-floating, non-resizable pane, call the CDockingManager::AddPane method. This method registers the pane with the docking manager, which is responsible for the layout of the pane.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to use various methods in the CDockingManager class to configure a CDockingManager object. The example shows how to display an additional button that opens a pop-up menu on the captions of all docking panes and how to set the docking mode of the object. This code snippet is part of the Visual Studio Demo sample.

   CDockingManager* pDockManager = GetDockingManager();
    ASSERT_VALID(pDockManager);
    pDockManager->AdjustPaneFrames();
    pDockManager->EnableDockSiteMenu();
    pDockManager->SetDockingMode(DT_STANDARD);
