◆ dock() [2/2]

control & xtd::forms::status_bar::dock ( dock_style  dock)
overridevirtual

Sets which control borders are docked to its parent control and determines how a control is resized with its parent.

Parameters
dockOne of the xtd::forms::dock_style values. The default is xtd::forms::dock_style::none.
Returns
Current control.
Remarks
Use the xtd::forms::control::dock property to define how a control is automatically resized as its parent control is resized. For example, setting xtd::forms::control::dock to xtd::forms::dock_style::left causes the control to align itself with the left edges of its parent control and to resize as the parent control is resized. Controls are docked in their Z-order, which is the visual layering of controls on a form along the form's Z-axis (depth).
A control can be docked to one edge of its parent container or can be docked to all edges and fill the parent container.
Setting the xtd::forms::control::margin property on a docked control has no effect on the distance of the control from the edges of its container.
Note
The xtd::forms::control::anchor and xtd::forms::control::dock properties are mutually exclusive. Only one can be set at a time, and the last one set takes precedence.
Notes to Inheritors
When overriding the xtd::forms::control::dock property in a derived class, use the base class's xtd::forms::control::dock property to extend the base implementation. Otherwise, you must provide all the implementation. You are not required to override both the get and set methods of the xtd::forms::control::dock property; you can override only one if needed.
