Toolbar.Dock(nLocation [, X, Y]) Form.Dock(nLocation, [, oForm]) |
Parameters

Specifies the location to dock the toolbar or form.
The following table lists the values for nLocation.

TOOL_TAB
- X, Y
- Specifies the horizontal and vertical coordinates respectively for the toolbar docking position.
- oForm
- Specifies an object reference to another form for tab or link docking.
Return Value
Logical data type. Dock returns True (.T.) if the item successfully docks. Otherwise, Dock returns False (.F.).
Remarks
Applies To: Form Object | ToolBar Object
Visual FoxPro does not support docking for top-level forms. Therefore, Visual FoxPro disregards a docked form's ShowWindow property, which determines whether a form is a top-level form and always defaults the property's value to 0.
When calling the Dock method, the Activate and Resize events occur.
You cannot dock items recursively. For example, you cannot dock one form while docking another.
For more information about docking toolbars and forms, see How to: Dock Toolbars and How to: Dock Forms.
Example
The following example uses the CREATEOBJECT( ) function to create a form, sets the Dockable and Visible properties so that the form is dockable and visible, and uses the Dock method to dock the form to the left side of the main Visual FoxPro window.
| В |  Copy Code |
|---|---|
omyForm = CREATEOBJECT("Form")
omyForm.Dockable = 1
omyForm.Visible = .T.
omyForm.Dock(1) | |
