GetVisibleCount Method

Returns the count of visible docked child panes.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Function GetVisibleCount() As Integer
public int GetVisibleCount()

Return Value

The count of visible docked child panes.
Remarks
Panes that are either unpinned or closed will not be included.
Example
The following example demonstrates how to walk over the children of a DockableGroupPane skipping the unpinned panes. When a group is docked, its panes collection will include all the currently docked panes - this includes any closed and unpinned panes. The DockableGroupPane exposes properties and methods for iterating the collection and only accessing the visible docked panes.
