unit fDockBook; (* Notebook for docking multiple controls into a tabbed control. By DoDi 2009. Example of a dock site without an docking manager. Unmanaged docking requires: - OnGetSiteInfo handler, at least indicating acceptance - OnDockOver handler, indicating acceptance, optionally placing the DockRect - OnDockDrop handler, when the control is not docked as an immediate client of the dock site (here: dedicated panel becomes the Parent). In this (notebook) implementation: The form is a dock site that manages docked clients itself. Controls are docked into a dedicated panel, i.e. the panel becomes their Parent. A tab is created for every docked control, in a dedicated toolbar. The tab, associated with the currently visible page, is in down state. A control can be undocked by dragging the associated tab. This makes the tabs act as grab regions for undocking e.g. forms or other controls, which otherwise deny undocking from their client area. The entire notebook can be docked from the empty part of the toolbar. Again for use with widgetsets and controls that do not drag properly. TWinControls are not really draggable, unless they have parts that do not normally react on mouse buttons (borders...). E.g. a SynEdit has to be wrapped into a form, before it can be dragged and docked by dragging the form. Apply ToolButtonAutoSizeAlign.patch to improve the appearance and behaviour of the toolbar buttons. (new version will use TToggleBox) Close docked forms on notebook destruction. *) (* Applications Stand alone form (not recommended) Parent=Nil, HostDockSite=Nil Not-docked part of a form (Editor) The form should never close itself. Parent<>Nil, HostDockSite=Nil Part of an dock tree The form is automatically created and docked by the EasyTree.
