In design mode, when I select 2 picture boxes, right-click & choose 'Dock Controls', I get a dialog. The dialog asks me how to add the controls, and I use the default 'Dock Left' and 'Horizontal Split'.
From this, I get two pinned panes split midway by a horizontal break. Just what I need. However, when I un-pin them both, the tabs that represent the panes overlap one another so that only one tab's caption can be read at a time.
If I add the 2 picture boxes as two separate groups, then even though the tabs are not overlapped, I am no longer able to vertically split the area between the two (pinned) panes.
How can I get the two tabs to not overlap one another when adding both pictureboxes at the same time? I want to be able to see the tabs' captions, but still be able to split the area vertically between the two pinned tabs' panes.

Set CompressUnpinnedTabs to False.
Hi Mike, Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately it took quite a while (~2 days) before I found the reply in the Forums.
Like the other user, I feel this peice of documentation was not easily accessible.Are the Forums the first or last resort for figuring out the properties of each control?
ThanksAditya
If you have a specific property you want to figure out, the online api documentation is the best resource. If you are trying to find out how to accomplish a certain task, the online developer's guide documentation as well as the forums can provide valuable information and checking both might be the best way to find the answer you are looking for.
