Example
The following sample code illustrates how to use the UltraDockManager's event manager

Imports Infragistics.Win
Imports Infragistics.Win.UltraWinDock

Private Sub btnEventManager_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnEventManager.Click

    ' Get the dockmanager components's event manager.
    ' The event manager is used to temporarily disable events
    ' to prevent them from being raised. This can be very
    ' convenient in a situation where one or more properties
    ' are being set in code and the events they would normally 
    ' raise would cause unnecessary or counter-productive
    ' code to be executed.
    '
    ' Note: All events are enabled by default.

    Dim eventManager As DockEventManager

    ' The 'EventManager' property returns the instance
    ' used to manage the component event firing
    eventManager = Me.ultraDockManager1.EventManager

    ' Disable the BeforeToggleDockState event
    eventManager.SetEnabled(DockManagerEventIds.BeforeToggleDockState, False)

    ' There is also an overload to disable a group of events
    ' for example, you can disable all the 'Before' events
    ' eventManager.SetEnabled(DockManagerEventGroups.BeforeEvents, True)

    ' Call the ToggleDockState of the pane to toggle its 'DockedState'
    ' Note: This would normally cause the 'BeforeToggleDockState' event to 
    ' be raised. However, since the above code disabled the event
    ' it won't be.
    Me.ultraDockManager1.DockAreas(0).ToggleDockState()

    ' Re-enable the BeforeToggleDockState event
    eventManager.SetEnabled(DockManagerEventIds.BeforeToggleDockState, True)

    ' The 'AllEventsEnabled' property lets you enable/disable
    ' all events will a single line of code. If any event is 
    ' disabled the 'AllEventsEnabled' property returns false.
    If Not eventManager.AllEventsEnabled Then
        eventManager.AllEventsEnabled = True
    End If

    ' The event manager also exposes an 'IsEnabled' method
    ' to see if an event is enabled or disbled.
    If Not eventManager.IsEnabled(DockManagerEventIds.BeforeSplitterDrag) Then
        eventManager.SetEnabled(DockManagerEventIds.BeforeSplitterDrag, True)
    End If

    ' The 'InProgress' method will return true if the 
    ' specified event is currently being raised. This

    ' from various points in an application to determine
    ' what is triggering the call.
