The ASP.NET server control enables developers to create docking panels in Visual Studio style. It supports auto-hide, slide-open, maximize, and pin tabbed-panels. It is customizable using CSS and Themes, and works with MS ASP.NET AJAX. The control supports all major browsers, including quirks and strict modes.
With this software, you can auto-hide, slide-open, maximize, or pin tabbed-panels. You can also customize the appearance via CSS and Themes. The software works with Microsoft ASP.NET AJAX and supports all major browsers, quirks, and strict modes.
One of the key features of this software is that the panels are DIV-based, which means that they are more flexible than other types of panels. You can dock panels to any of the four edges of the container, create panel groups for complex layouts, and have multiple dock panels and groups in a container or panel group.
Another great feature is the ability to have multiple tabbed panels in a dock panel. The container itself resizes with the browser window, and you can also easily autohide, pin, maximize, or hide individual panels. The contents of the panels will also live refresh while resizing.
You can also set constraints on panel sizes, such as minimum, maximum, and step sizes. Oversized thumbs make it easy to grab thin splitters, and you can choose to show splitter buttons only on mouse-over. Panel states, active tab index, positions of splitter bars, and scrollbars all persist across postbacks.
Customization is also a big part of this software. You can customize the appearance via CSS, Themes, and object properties. You can also customize the splitter bar thickness, thumb image, mouse-over cursor, tabs, and action buttons.
This software also supports ASP.NET 2.0 Themes and works with Microsoft ASP.NET AJAX. The customized UpdatePanel provides better programmatic access and design-time support. Panel state and size can be updated via AJAX postback, even if the panel isn't an UpdatePanel. Selected panel properties are also accessible with JavaScript.
You can create dock panels, tabbed panels, and their contents dynamically at runtime. You can also rearrange the panel sequence at runtime. The design-time support for Visual Studio 2005 is excellent, and you can work comfortably in both Design and Source Views. In Source View, the code structure is natural and highly intuitive.
In short, this software is a must-have for anyone who wants to create visually stunning web applications. It supports all major browsers, comes with a host of customization options, and is incredibly easy to use. No more browser-hacks or inconsistent box models - this software takes care of it all.
