This property controls the border inside of this control for docked components.
The following code example uses the derived class, Panel. The example docks a button in a panel control and cycles through the ScrollableControl..::.DockPaddingEdges properties, setting each individually on the click of the button. The example requires that you have created an instance of a Panel control and a Button on a form, and you have declared a class level member variable named myCounter as a 32-bit signed integer. You should call this code on the Click event of the button.
