Dock Pane ExampleΒΆ

dock_pane

An example of the `DockPane` widget.

This example demonstrates the use of the `DockPane` widget. A `DockPane`
can have at most one child, which must be a 'Container` widget. The
sizing of the `DockPane` is largely determined by the size constraints
of the child `Container`. A `DockPane` must be used as the child of
a `MainWindow`. There are several attribute on a `DockPane` which allow
the developer to control the behavior of the `DockPane`.

Implementation Notes:

    The docking facilities in Wx are very weak. Due to various technical
    limitations, the sizing of `DockPane` widgets in Wx is not nearly as
    good as it is on Qt. The cost of using a `DockPane` in Wx is also
    *much* higher than in Qt due to Wx's horribly inefficient docking
    implementation. If docking is required for a particular application,
    strongly prefer the Qt backend over Wx (this is generally a good
    life-rule).
