Product Overview
Xtreme Docking Pane provides Windows developers with a sophisticated Visual Studio .NET™ style docking pane.
Windows developers can easily create tear off tabs, auto hide windows, and nested groups of panes that allow
for a more manageable application workspace. To further help utilize your workspace area, auto-hide floating
panes can be used. When panes are dragged within your application a visual clue is displayed representing where
the docking pane will be positioned allowing the user to easily see where the pane can be docked. Xtreme
Docking Pane also includes Visual Studio 2005 “Whidbey” style docking! Whidbey style docking provides a stylish
interactive UI when docking your pane. Built-in docking pane theme support will allow you to choose from
predefined themes such as Excel, Visio, Windows XP, Office XP, Office 2003, Visual Studio .NET, Whidbey, Visual
Studio 2005, Explorer, or Office 2000. In addition to the themes provided for the docking panes, a different
theme can be applied to auto-hide tabs. Themes can even be applied to floating panes allowing you to fully
theme every part of your docking panes! Xtreme Docking Pane also has the “cascading” ability seen in Visual
Studio. In addition to standard pane caption buttons, a customizable drop down button is included for custom
menus. Xtreme Docking Pane can even save and load pane layouts after they have been dragged and dropped.

arrangement docked to any side of your application workspace. The docking panes can be grouped together or

windows allow you to drag and “Tear Off” any of the individual tabs to create new windows that can either float

create a new tab in each dockable window. An outline is drawn to depict where your window will be located when
you tear off or combine.
