'Declaration Public ReadOnly Property AllowMinimize As Infragistics.Win.DefaultableBoolean
public Infragistics.Win.DefaultableBoolean AllowMinimize {get;}
For the minimize button to be visible on any pane, the UltraDockManager.ShowMinimizeButton property of the control must be set to True. The default value for ShowMinimizeButton is False.
The AllowMinimize property determines whether a pane can be minimized within a group. This property always returns the value that is in effect for the control.
In order for a pane to be minimized, it must be in a group with at least one other pane, and the group cannot be a tabbed group. Minimizing a pane toggles its minimized state, which it maintains until you have restored it. When the minimized state is active, the pane will be minimzed if it is possible to do so. In a pane group, one pane must always be available to fill the area of the pane, so it is not possible for all panes to be minimized simultaneously. One pane will always fill the pane area, even it its minimized state must be ignored to do so. Also, note that a pane can be simultaneously minimized and maximized. The minimzed state will take precedence over the maximized state.
How other panes in a group are resized to accommodate a minimized pane varies depending on whether the group is split horizontally or vertically. A horizontally split group will reduce the minimized pane to a title bar above or below the other panes. If the group is vertically split, the title bars of the pane will appear to the left or right of the other panes. Note that the caption of the pane will be rotated when it is minimized in a vertically split group.
Typically, you will not make use of maximizing and minimizing of panes in the same group at the same time. Because of the requirement that one pane must fill the group area at all times, minimization and maximization do not behave exactly as they do for other windows. Therefore, you risk confusing the user of your application by providing both functions simultaneously.
