)

Right: Margin between the right edge of the client area and any docking panes that are docked to the right edge of the client area.
Bottom: Margin between the bottom edge of the client area and any docking panes that are docked to the bottom edge of the client area.

Return Type

Returns True if all margins are accepted. Returns False if one or more of the margins are not possible.

Remarks

SetSideDockingMargin sets the margins between the client area's edge and a docking pane docked to the edge of the client area when side docking is enabled.

All margins are in pixels.

SideDocking must be enabled for SetSideDockingMargin to have any effect. When enabled, any pane that is dragged to an inside edge of the client area will attempt to "snap" to that inside edge of the client. The pane will "snap" to the inside edge of the client and will leave a margin equal to that specified by SetSideDockingMargin.

Side Docking Margins

Use DockSidePane to dock panes to the inside edge of the client using code.

Example

DockingPaneManager.Options.SideDocking = True  
DockingPaneManager.Options.SetSideDockingMargin 23, 23, 23, 23
