Hi,
I'm working with the DockManager component in Standard MDI mode. I red the documentation about how to insert a form inside a ToolWindows. I would like to fully customize the ToolWindows aspect using my own Form (I can use a form with FormBorderStyle = none or a panel)
We need to customize the ToolWindows rendering to give our application a different look&feel. I red about DocumentRenderer, but I didn't undertand how to implement the extended class in order to control the aspect of that windows in different cases: docked, MDI standard a Floating.
I would like to be able to insert a Form (or a panel or a user control) in the ToolWindows and insert in my Form all the rules that I need to make the control usable inside the dockManager. I need to access to the built-in functionalities, but we need to access that funcionalities in a different way. (ie. very small buttons on the ToolWindows title bar instead of context menu. (It's ok put the title of ToolWindows in my Form, so I can use the designer to develop)
We absolutely need to be able to do that, this is the key for our application.
Thanks very much for your reply.
