Description

UndockControl - removes a control from a docking form.

It breaks all anchors and cleans up.

  The created gap will be tried to fill up.
  It removes TLazDockSplitter, TLazDockPage and TLazDockPages if they are no
  longer needed.                                

 Examples:

  Search Order:

  1. A TLazDockSplitter dividing only two controls:

     Before:
     |-------------
     | +--+ | +---
     | |  | | | B
     | +--+ | +---
     |-------------

     The splitter will be deleted and the right control will be anchored to the
     left.

     After:
     |-------------
     | +---
     | | B
     | +---
     |-------------


  2. Four spiral splitters:

     Before:
              |
           A  |
     ---------|
       | +--+ |  C
     B | |  | |
       | +--+ |
       | ----------
       |   D

     The left and right splitter will be combined to one.

     After:
              |
           A  |
       -------|
              |  C
            B |
              |
              |------
              |   D


  3. No TLazDockSplitter. Control is the only child of a TLazDockPage
     In this case the page will be deleted.
     If the TLazDockPages has no children left, it is recursively undocked.

  4. No TLazDockSplitter, Control is the only child of a TLazDockForm.
     The TLazDockForm is deleted and the Control is floated.
     This normally means: A form will simply be placed on the desktop, other
     controls will be docked into their DockSite.

  5. Otherwise: this control was not docked.

Errors

Raises an exception if the control is already undocked
