public Rectangle[] WorkAreas { get; set; }
```
 
### Property Value
An array of rectangles representing working areas.
 
## Remarks
  
Working areas are rectangular virtual areas that the control uses to arrange items. A working area is not a window and cannot have a visible border. By default, the control has no working areas. By creating a working area, you can arrange the items in a non-standard way or cause a horizontal scroll bar to be displayed when there normally would not be one.
