Toolbox for Windows Applications

Question

4.00/5 (4 votes)

See more:

It can be really useful to have something like Toolbox in your Windows applications! and the main useful function is to Pin or UnPin it to page so when you don't use it it will hide from the screen (sliding to left) and the main page can have wider space for something like drawing or working space.

but what kind of component is it???? and how it can be Pinable ? also how to change the main area of the scree in case of sliding the toolbox to left? the good example of this question is Visual Studio work space and the very useful Toolbox that it has!

also how to drag and drop from toolbox to main area?!?!?!

[confused]

I've often wondered about this docking behaviour as well, and I share your disbelief that it is not a standard control. Unfortunately I think you may be looking at building your own, or using a Third party component... I know Infragistics makes an "UltraDockManager" that can give you similar behaviour to the Visual Studio environment, and I've also stumbled upon this one which might be worth a look. It comes with a nice sample, and the price is definitely right. :-D
