unit fElasticSite; (* Demonstrate elastic dock sites. This form has dock sites (panels) on its left, right and bottom. Empty panels should be invisible, what's a bit tricky. They cannot have Visible=False, because this would disallow to dock anything into them. So the width/height of the panels is set to zero instead. When a first control is docked, the dock site is enlarged. Fine adjustment can be made with the splitters beneath the controls. When the last control is undocked, the dock site is shrinked again. *) (* Observed problems: Object Inspector says: the bottom panel's OnGetSiteInfo method is incompatible with other OnGetSiteInfo methods. ManualFloat does not properly align the client - should become alClient. Undocked controls do not restore to their undocked size! Hack: use ManualDock into created floating host. Undocking controls from a FloatingDockHostSite will undock the control, but it will become a child of the same site, and the entire site is moved. *) (* AutoExpand by mouse position Requires a flag in the DockSite, set on first dock.
