For this iteration, I was given the chance at fame and glory by changing our interface.
Today, we have a Tabbed MDI as our main window with vertical tabs. For the tab in question, we have a UltraTabControl with horizontal tabs and in each of those tabs, lots of content (not important for this).
The requirement is to allow us to see two of the horizontal tabs at once. Sadly, I can't figure out how to get UltraTabControl to give me tab groups (which looks like the feature I want) like Tabbed MDI manager. Given that, I tried Tabbed MDI manager, but I can't put one MDI container inside another.
So, the main question is: how can I get tab groups in those horizontal tabs? The current UI standard is to maintain the vertical tab/horizontal tab distinction, which means I would have a major fight if I have to break that paradigm.
Thanks for your response. Let me know if you have any further questions.

It didn't exactly solve my problem, but it got me down the path to getting something closer to the TabbedMdiInterface. I ended up taking that code and using splitters instead of just resizing the control. I also had to fix some of the drag and drop code since it wasn't translating client position very well for me.
At the moment, I'm working on duplicating the menu items between the two (TabbedMdiManager verses UltraTabControl). I also want to see if I can show the overlaid boxes for splitting via mouse-dragging, but at the moment that is less of a priority.
It's a bummer you don't have anything like this already.
Hello,
Have you been able to resolve your issue ? Did you have a time to take a look at the attached sample. If you still have any concerns or questions I will be glad to help. If you need any additional assistance don’t hesitate to ask.
Hi,
If I understand your reqirements, at that moment our UltraTabControl does not have such kind functionality, but you could achieve desired behavior with the code in attached sample. Please take a look at the attached sample and video for more details and let me know if you have any questions.
