MDI Tabbed Form, Is this possible?

[Per]

Hi!

I have been struggling with this problem for 2 weeks now and I just can't find a solution.
Im running version 2009 Q1

What I want to do is this:
In the demo example "Dock/MDI", I want to add a new tab called "new form".
This tab should always be the last tab and any new mdi forms should be inserted just before this tab.
Example: If I have tabs like this <Form1><Form2><New Form>
and add a new form is should look like this <Form1><Form2><Form3><New Form>

When I click on the tab <New Form>, I want a new MDI form (of type demo form1) to be created and inserted before the <New Form> tab.
I also want the new form to be activated.

Is this possible?

Hi Per,

This functionality is not supported in the current edition of the DockingManager, but this is very good idea and we can implement it in the new RadDock.

Has the functionality in this question been added? I'm also looking for a new tab to be added to the end of the tabstrip and not the beginning.

 

Thanks

Hello Mark, 

Thank you for writing back. 

You can control whether the newly added document will be added in front or to the back of the tabbed documents by the DocumentManager.DocumentInsertOrder property. It is necessary to set it to DockWindowInsertOrder. and thus the new documents will be added to the back.

this.radDock1.DocumentManager.DocumentInsertOrder = DockWindowInsertOrder.ToBack;

I hope this information helps. If you have any additional questions, please let me know.
