Description

A dockable window is a window that can exist in a floating state or be attached to the main application window. The Table of Contents in ArcMap and the Tree View in ArcCatalog are examples of dockable windows.

When To Use

The IDockableWindow interface is used to query the properties of a dockable window such as the Caption, Name, and ID. This interface also has methods to return whether the window is currently visible, to display the window, and to dock the window in a particular location on the application.

Use the IDockableWindowManager::GetDockableWindow method to get a reference to a particular dockable window.
