# Docking Styles

Get started with Menus and Toolbars for WinForms. Create versatile menus and docking/floating toolbars. See more in documentation here.

## Content



When the [C1DockingTab](/componentone/docs/win/online-menus-toolbar/) control is placed in the [C1CommandDock](/componentone/docs/win/online-menus-toolbar/) component (see [Enabling DockingTab Docking and Floating](/componentone/docs/win/online-menus-toolbar/menusandtoolbarsforw2/dockingtabtasks/enablingdockingtabdo)), it becomes a dockable control. You can select a specific style for docking by setting the [C1CommandDock](/componentone/docs/win/online-menus-toolbar/) component’s [DockingStyle](/componentone/docs/win/online-menus-toolbar/) property to **Default**, **VS2005**, **VS2008**, or **VS2010**. The **Default** setting shows a gray shaded outline to illustrate where the control will be docked when you release the cursor, whereas **VS2005**, **VS2008**, and **VS2010** mimic the docking style of Visual Studio 2005, Visual Studio 2008, and Visual Studio 2010 respectively. The table below provides an example of each docking style.
