TControl.GetFloatingDockSiteClass function

Member of TControlprotectedIn unit Controls

Returns the class for a floating host dock site.

Declaration

pascal
function GetFloatingDockSiteClass: TWinControlClass; virtual

Function result

The class of a floating host dock site for this control.

Description

An instance of this class is created whenever a control shall float, but cannot (or shall not) float by itself.

Only TWinControls can float on the screen (with Parent=Nil), but not ordinary TControls.

Since dockable forms are not supported by every platform, a dockable TWinControl may need a floating host which presents a docking handle to the user (e.g. a dock caption).
