Why choose DockingTab for WinForms?
Key Features of WinForms DockingTab
Float and Dock Panels
DockingTab provides WinForms floating panel behavior. It allows you to detach entire controls or individual panels (tabs) and automatically dock them to different edges of the application or float them in a separate window.
Docking similar to Visual Studio
In addition to the default docking behavior, you can enable docking similar to Visual Studio. This docking behavior uses a diamond interface to clearly indicate to the user where the panel is docked or floated.
WinForms tab control with multiple rows
DockingTab can also be used as a WinForms tab control. It allows you to display multiple tabs in a single control. You can choose to wrap the tab headers across multiple lines or enable scrolling on a single line.
Auto-hide or pin tabs
DockingTab supports auto-hide. When the tab is "undocked," it minimizes to the edge of the application and can be opened by sliding it open when the user chooses.
