Public Property ShowCaption() As Boolean

Remarks

If set to FALSE, the title bar will not be visible for all docking panes. If the caption is not visible for a pane, that pane cannot be moved (dragged) by the user. If the caption is hidden for an auto-hide pane, the user will have no way to dock the pane.
If set to TRUE, the caption for all panes is visible. The caption for individual panes can be hidden by setting the Pane.Options property to PaneNoCaption for each pane.
