Docking UI

The Dock Manager component shipped as part of the Eremex Avalonia UI Controls library allows you to implement the classic docking UI that you can find in popular IDEs. You can create tool panels that support dock, auto-hide, and float operations. Special Document containers are designed to display the main content of your window. You can create multiple Documents and organize them into a tabbed UI.
