Hello, we are trying to implement a Dockable application using tabbed windows. I was able to successfully use OpenSheetInTabGroup() to do this, however the tabs seem to default to the bottom of the window. Any ideas how to move the tabs to the top of the window where it is much more apparent to the user? Thanks.

Thanks, Mike - glad you keyed us into this before we got too far. Guess we will be changing course.

Hi Steven;

   There is no option in the OpenSheetInTabGroup() command to control that nor, in any of the TabbedXxxxxx / WindowDockXxxxxx  properties on the Window class to control this.

   Also note Mike's post about this feature now being discontinued (deprecated).

Regards ... Chris

Hi Chris, 

Are there any plans for a replacement? I heard something about a new dockable windows feature after elevate 2018.

Some further information would be helpfull for Steven's and our development plans.

Thanks,

Hi Tobi;

Engineering is looking at a replacement in the future. Right now they are calling it the "Floating Window" feature. No detailed specifications or time frame(s) (aka commitment) yet from Engineering.
