Syntax

Visual Basic

'Declaration
 
Public Overridable Sub Show() 

C#

public virtual void Show()

Example

The following code demonstrates the use of some of the flyout related properties and methods on the DockablePaneBase and DockableControlPane

Visual Basic

    ' control from the ControlPanes collection since that is a
    ' collection of all the DockableControlPane instances managed
    ' by the UltraDockManager.
    Dim pane As DockableControlPane = Me.ultraDockManager1.ControlPanes(Me.ultraDayView1)
    Me.ShowInFlyout(pane)

End Sub
