Is there a property to only allow a window to dock on one side?

Hi,
 
Add this code
 
Private Sub DockingPaneManager_Action(ByVal Action As XtremeDockingPane.DockingPaneAction, ByVal Pane As XtremeDockingPane.IPane, ByVal Container As XtremeDockingPane.IPaneActionContainer, Cancel As Boolean)
On Error Resume Next
    If (Action = PaneActionDocking) Then
        If (Container.Container.Type <> PaneTypeTabbedContainer) And _
        (Container.Direction = DockTopOf Or Container.Direction = DockBottomOf Or Container.Direction = DockRightOf) Then
            Cancel = True
        End If
    End If
End Sub

A very late reply, but just had to do this myself.
 
For a working example, get the Docking Pane sample MDIPanes, and edit the OnDockingPaneNotify to have the following code:
 
LRESULT CChildFrame::OnDockingPaneNotify(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
 if (wParam == XTP_DPN_ACTION)
 {
  XTP_DOCKINGPANE_ACTION *pAction = (XTP_DOCKINGPANE_ACTION *)lParam;
  if ( pAction->action == xtpPaneActionDocking )
  {
   // restrict to docking only left and right
   XTPDockingPaneDirection eDir = pAction->dockDirection;
   if ( eDir == xtpPaneDockTop || eDir == xtpPaneDockBottom )
    pAction->bCancel = true;
  }
 }
 return FALSE;
}
When you run the sample, you'll notice that you can no longer dock top or bottom and the docking highlights don't even show up.
It's not the dumb question that bothers me. It's the dumb mistake made because a dumb question wasn't asked.
