Tool Window Inner-Fill

The Dock controls can be placed in tool window inner-fill mode, which hides the client area of the host container control. While in this mode, tool windows fill the entire interior of the host container control.

Set the DocumentMdiStyle property of the DockManager component to ToolWindowInnerFill to use this mode. This can be changed at run-time.
