What's new in version Q1 2006:

Document View:
Nevron Docking Panels now provide a complete document support including 3 different
types of document view style, document layout persistency, standard mdi menu merge
and much more. Nevron Docking Panels is the only library on the market which provide
you with the complete set of document views: TabbedMdi - bring to you applications
the latest Visual Studio tabbed mdi interfaces. Unlimited nesting of tabbed groups.
Complete control over the document tabstrips via the DocumentStyle, exposed by the
DockManager. StandardMdi - Although well designed and much professional looking
sometimes the tabbed documents are not the solution you will need. Nevron Docking
Panels provides you with multiple document interfaces style found in the standard
Windows Form control. Using a well designed object model a document might be easily
hosted on either a tabbed mdi view or on a standard one. SingleDocument - sometimes
an application may need only one document to be opened at a time. In this case you
should use the SingleDocument view style. The document model comes with a built-in
manager, member of the dock manager, which controls all the document registered with
the framework. The DocumentManager exposes lots of events, some of them cancelable
which allows you to provide custom application-oriented logic. The example adds
three documents to the view and hosts a property grid in a dockable panel. Play with
the properties of the DocumentStyle, selected in the property grid.

Mdi Menu Merge:
Nevron Docking Panels now provide a complete document support. For the StandardMdi
view when a document is maximized there should be commands (hosted on a menu bar)
which allow for restoring of the window. This feature is implemented via an
interface - INMdiMenuTarget which allows you to provide your own custom mdi menu
merge implementation.

Border Support:
Nevron Docking Panels provide generic border support. Based on the core
INControlBorderProvider interface you may completely customize the border of a panel
using either the visual editor or programmatically.

Layout Persistency:
Nevron Docking Panels now provide complete layout persistency including panels,
documents and styles. You may choose among 5 different persistency formats - Binary,
XML, SOAP, CustomBinary and CustomXML. The last two formats are entirely custom and
allow for painless migration from one version to another. The persistency features
are exposed by a NDockingFrameworkState object which when attached to a valid
NDockManager instance may completely serialize/deserialize its state.

Design-time Support:
Complete design-time support is a main beneficial feature of any component developed
under .NET platform. Nevron docking panels now provide rich and intuitive
design-time support with the same behavior experienced as if the form is running at
run time. Just drop a NDockManager component on a form and using its verbs add
panels on the sides of the form. Nevron NDockManager takes full advantage of the
System.CodeDom namespace and provide completely custom code generation of zones and
panels. The example is created by the Windows Forms Designer and demonstrates the
Code Dom serialization provided by the dock manager.

Command Model:
Nevron Docking Panels now provide an extensible command model which seamlessly
integrate with the framework and allows you to define global tasks and methods and
specify keyboard shortcuts form them. The NDockManager exposes a new
NDockingFrameworkCommander object which serves as a command manager. It has some
predefined commands like NextDocument, NextPanel, CloseDocument, etc. and allows you
to register your own custom commands. Each command might be assigned multiple
shortcut combinations (like the NextDocument command which is assigned both Ctrl+Tab
and Ctrl+F6 shortcuts). You may either inherit from the NDockingFrameworkCommand
class and override the ExecuteCore method or create a default command and hook to
its Executed event.
