I\'ve played around alot with the Weifen-Luo\'s Docking Library, which works great b

Answer 1

I was able to make it work With the Free Weifen-Luo's Docking Library.

you can simply add your dock panel to a user control or a tab control or any other type of container.

Controls.Add(dockPanel);

The one thing that was missing was that in order to use the DockStyle.Document you must have the following line of code:

dockPanel.DocumentStyle = DocumentStyle.DockingWindow;

This allows DockStyle.Document to be used with something other then an MDI interface.

Answer 2

For WPF, I can recommend AvalonDock. It's also used by SharpDevelop:
