GetVisiblePosition Method

Returns the visible position of the pane within the collection.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Function GetVisiblePosition( _
   ByVal pane As DockablePaneBase _
) As Integer
public int GetVisiblePosition( 
   DockablePaneBase pane
)

Parameters

pane
Pane to determine the location of.

Return Value

The index of the pane amongst the visible panes.
Example
The following examples demonstrates the use of the DockableGroupPane's Contains method to determine whether a specific pane exists within the group.
