How do I prevent the formation of a new tab group?
posted

I have a form with an UltraDockManager with several controls docked to various edges. The dock manager LayoutStyle is FillContainer.

One of the dockable control panes, call it the "fixed pane", has its caption hidden so that it can't be dragged. Think editor window in Visual Studio. This fixed pane is not part of a tabbed group.

I would like the fixed pane to participate in docking groups EXCEPT as a tabbed group. I should be able to watch the proposed hierarchy in BeforeDockChange and set e.Cancel to true, but I have not been able to identify a drop that would form a new tab group with the fixed pane. How should I do that?

    Hello bobgru,

    I believe I managed to reproduce the desired behavior in a sample. Please review it and see if it fits your requirements.
