Syntax
Remarks

Dock panes are modeless dialogs that can be docked at the top, right, left, or bottom of the view area within the application. Dock panes can also be: grouped with other dock panes, docked relative to each other (i.e. below, above, etc), or floated. Finally, dock panes can also be pinned/un-pinned so that they slide back into the frame to save space. The framework persists and preserves the docking state of each dock pane so that when they are shown in subsequent sessions, they appear in their last position.

Dock panes are singletons: there is never more than one instance of a particular dock pane and once created, they are not destroyed until the application shuts down. Use Find to access a specific dock pane.

Declaring DockPanes in DAML: <dockPanes> <dockPane id="acme_TOCDockPane" caption="Contents" className="TOCViewModel" condition="acme_basicPane" dock="group" dockWith="acme_ProjectDockPane"> <content className="TOC.TOCDockPane"/> </dockPane> </dockPanes>
