DockRegion

DockRegion is an internal control within the AcrylicUI docking framework. It represents one of the main docking areas within a DockPanel: Document, Left, Right, or Bottom.

Usage

Developers do not interact directly with DockRegion. The DockPanel automatically creates and manages four DockRegion instances (one for each DockArea).

  • When DockContent is added to the DockPanel, it's routed to the appropriate DockRegion based on its DefaultDockArea or docking state.
  • Each DockRegion manages the layout, size, and visibility of the DockGroup(s) it contains.
  • The DockRegion handles the display and interaction logic for its associated DockSplitter (if applicable) to allow resizing.

Essentially, DockRegion acts as the top-level container for a specific docking area (e.g., the entire left-hand docked area) and manages the groups of tabbed content within that area.

Key Functionality (Internal)

  • Represents a specific DockArea (Document, Left, Right, Bottom).
  • Manages a collection of DockGroup instances.
  • Controls the docking (Dock property) and sizing of the region within the DockPanel.
  • Manages the visibility and position of its associated DockSplitter.
  • Handles adding, removing, and inserting content into its DockGroups.
