TDockManager.PositionDockRect

Determines the DockRect while dragging a control over the docksite.

Declaration

Source position: controls.pp line 673

public procedure TDockManager.PositionDockRect(

  ADockObject: TDragDockObject

); virtual; overload;

procedure TDockManager.PositionDockRect(

  Client: TControl;

  DropCtl: TControl;

  DropAlign: TAlign;

  var DockRect: TRect

); virtual; abstract; overload;

Arguments

ADockObject

  

The DragDockObject holding all information about the drag-dock operation.

Arguments

Client

  

The dropped control.

DropCtl

  

The control relative to which Client shall be docked; Nil for docking into the docksite.

DropAlign

  

How to dock, relative to DropCtl.

DockRect

  

The screen rectangle of the docksite, to be adjusted by this method.

Description

This method updates DockRect to provide visual feedback when a control is dragged over the docksite. The initial DragDockObject.DockRect spans the entire DockSite.

The Delphi-compatible version only can use the parameters determined by the default processing in the docksite.

The Typhon version can update the DockObject with better-suited parameters. A DockManager here can implement any algorithm for the placement of a dropped control. The default implementation calls the Delphi compatible version. When you override the Typhon version, you may have to determine the dock sibling and DropAlign again, when the default determination (in TControl and TWinControl) is inappropriate.
