The following are some of the main features of C1DockControl that you may find useful:        

• Docking Diamond

  By default, DockControl uses Microsoft docking diamonds like Visual Studio. See Docking Diamond and Zones for more information.

• Natural Docking

  Customize DockControl to provide natural docking allowing you to dock and float multiple windows within your application. Dock indicators appear when you drag windows over dock zones signaling to dock.        

• Floating Windows

  Allow a window to float above your application in separate windows. 

• Tabbed Windows

  Documents opened in instances of the editor are automatically arranged on tabbed panes.

• Auto Hide

  See more of your code at one time with auto hide using the pushpin. This allows you to minimize not-in-use tool windows along the edges of the IDE.

• Rich Programmatic API

  For complete flexibility and to restrict behavior, the docking state of any dockable window can be controlled programmatically through the rich programmatic API.

• Support for Two Monitors   

  You can choose which monitor to display windows on by easily dragging windows from one monitor to the other.

• Supports ClearStyle Technology

  DockControl for WPF supports ComponentOne's ClearStyle technology, which allows you to easily change control colors without having to change control templates. By setting a few color properties, you can quickly style the C1DockControl elements. See DockControl ClearStyle Properties for more information on the ComponentOne ClearStyle technology.
