Micheal, I'm thinking they mean just a visual representation of the non-visual components, by having them displayed in a different area. For you, they would show up wherever you want to put them (by default the designer could put them in a grid), but the XY won't change of the components themselves, just putting them out of the way for the ones that want the option on (if I got it correctly).

Not so fast. This is a can of worms you maybe don't want to open:

I don't use the docked designer. I most likely never will.

So if someone using the docked form designer has put the non-visual
components outside the docked form, and I then subsequently open this form,
what will happen ? Where will you put it ?

In yet another window ? I hope not.
In the component tree ? I don't use that, it is hidden.

There are always more angles to a problem than you may have considered.


It will not affect you. DockedFormEditor is just an option. All is backward compatible. Even new page "non-visual" will be only smart addition. In the
worst scenario XY position of 'non-visible' component will just out of
scope of form rect (unlikely).

I eagerly await your demonstration of this fact :-)

Michael.
