Style of tabs in tabbed document

[Dudu]

Hi,
please is there any way to reach result attached in the second picture programatically ? The tab is aligned to bottom.

1) I would need to get close button to the right of the tab name
2) I would need to get rid of close button at one tab.

First picture describes current state. Second picture shows my wish.

Thanks

Hello Dudu,

Thank you for writing.

For the time being, the tabs in the DocumentWindows of RadDock cannot be replaced, and having in mind that the layout of the tab is custom one, it is not possible to move the close button and also it is not possible to add another element in the tab. Since this seems a reasonable request, I am adding it in our Public Issue Tracking System. You can add your vote for it here: http://www.telerik.com/support/pits.aspx#/public/winforms/15384. 

I hope that you find this information useful.

Hello,

You can do that by setting the NewItemVisibility property of the desired DocumentTabStrip. To handle newly created srtips which might get automatically created during a drag and drop operation, you can use the PageViewInstanceCreated event. Here is a small sample of this approach:

public partial class Form2 : Form
{
    public Form2()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        this.documentTabStrip1.TabStripElement.NewItemVisibility = Telerik.WinControls.UI.StripViewNewItemVisibility.End;

        this.documentTabStrip1.TabStripElement.NewItem.Click += new EventHandler(NewItem_Click);

        this.radDock1.PageViewInstanceCreated += new PageViewInstanceCreatedEventHandler(radDock1_PageViewInstanceCreated);
    }

    void radDock1_PageViewInstanceCreated(object sender, PageViewInstanceCreatedEventArgs e)
    {
        RadPageViewStripElement strip = (RadPageViewStripElement)e.PageViewElement;
        strip.NewItemVisibility = StripViewNewItemVisibility.End;
        strip.NewItem.Click += new EventHandler(NewItem_Click);
    }

    void NewItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        AddTab("New Tab " + DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay);
    }

    private void AddTab(string title)
    {
        RadLabel label = new RadLabel();
        label.Text = "label " + title;
        var f = new ToolWindow
        {
            Text = title,
        };
        f.Controls.Add(label);

        radDock1.SetWindowState(f, DockState.TabbedDocument);
    }
}

I hope this helps.
