  I have a form that includes C1DockingTab and C1StatusBar. When I set the C1DockingTab to Dock=Fill, it extends below the C1StatusBar area at the bottom of the form, to the full size of the form’s client area. I have searched both controls and cannot find any property in either control that affects this behavior?

  Is this configurable or is it a design flaw / bug in one of the controls?

  I am using Winforms .Net Framework 4.8 versions of the controls in a .Net Framework 4.8 project in Visual Studio 2022.

  Thank you,

  Charlie

  Hi Charlie,

  maybe it already helps if you right click the C1DockingTab and call “Bring to Front” from the context menu?
  
  If not: could you create a simple sample reproducing the problem and post it here?

  Best regards

  Wolfgang

  Hi Charlie,

  We agree with @Wolfgang’s assessment i.e. it appears that the C1DockingTab is positioned behind the C1StatusBar control. As a result, docking it to Fill causes part of it to be hidden behind the status bar.

  To resolve this, you can right-click on the C1DockingTab and select the “Bring to Front” option to move it in front of the C1StatusBar.

  We’ve attached a sample project demonstrating the correct behavior. If you’re experiencing the issue in a different implementation, please update the sample to reproduce the behavior, so we can investigate further - DockingTabDemo.zip

  P.S. Thank you for your suggestion @Wolfgang.

  Best Regards,
