  Hi.

  I’m a little bit lost how to arrange following case – I need smth like in Visual Studio or similiar product. Basically centered undocable and unhideable region (like text code editor in VS case) and some dockable(or hideable) tab with settings. It is almost like VS properties tab, but user shouldn’t be possible to close it – only hide or show. I mean it is always visible tab and can be pinned to edit setting or collapsed (hide).

  Basically, I need two parts undockable always visible main part (charts for example) and it’s collapsible (hideable) settings\properties part.

  I use currently two tabs – one for charts and second for it’s settings. But there is property grid as a settings, so a lot of space is wasted. I’m trying to use C1Dock* controls, but without success.

  Could you provide some help with this scenario?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi,

  I suggest to simply place the main part in your form with “Dock = Fill”, and place only the settings control in a C1DockingTab.

  See the attached sample: C1DockingTabSample.zip

  Hope this helps
