Hi,
In an environment with already opened MDI windows, is it possible to open new MDI windows with a different tab width than those already displayed?Can I also set a maximum width for the tabs of these new windows?
Can we also display a tooltip to view the full text on the tab?
Best regards
Hi Mike,
Yes, it works.
Thank you very much for your help.
Hi Christian,
You can make the ellipsis appear by setting the TextTrimming property on the appearance:
ultraTabbedMdiManager1.Appearance.TextTrimming = Infragistics.Win.TextTrimming.EllipsisCharacter;
Please try this out and let me know whether it works.
Hi Mike,Thanks for your advice, I was able to do pretty much what I wanted with the InitializeTab event.On the other hand, when the text of the tab is too long and I defined a TabWidth, the cut is brutal without the appearance of the three small points indicating this cut.Is there a property that makes these three points appear?
Regards
Hi Pokorny,
You can set the width of any tab by using the TabWidth property on the settings object:
ultraTabbedMdiManager1.TabGroups[groupIndex].Tabs[tabIndex].Settings.TabWidth
I am not aware of a way to automatically set a max width. Would it work to use the TabWidth property to constrain the width manually?
If the tab's text is not fully shown, a tooltip should display the full text of the tab by default. Please let me know if you do not observe this behavior.
