Class DockPanel

Namespace
nanoFramework.Presentation.Controls
Assembly
nanoFramework.Graphics.dll

DockPanel is used to size and position children inward from the edges of available space.

A Dock enum (see SetDock(UIElement, Dock) and GetDock(UIElement)) determines on which size a child is placed. Children are stacked in order from these edges until there is no more space; this happens when previous children have consumed all available space, or a child with Dock set to Fill is encountered.
