PaneFromPosition(Point,Boolean) Method

Returns the pane at the specified position.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Overloads Function PaneFromPosition( _
   ByVal pt As Point, _
   ByVal ignoreFloatingWindows As Boolean _
) As DockablePaneBase
public DockablePaneBase PaneFromPosition( 
   Point pt,
   bool ignoreFloatingWindows

Parameters

pt
Point in screen coordinates.
ignoreFloatingWindows
True if any floating pane windows should be ignored.

Return Value

The pane at the specified coordinates or null if no pane was found.
Example
The following method demonstrates the ElementFromPoint and PaneFromPosition methods of the UltraDockManager component.
