I have an app which uses UltraTabbedMDIManager and to this I am adding tabs at runtime. Each of this tab shows Customer information.
Now each customer has variety of information like... Balance sheet info / Customer details (address,phone# etc..) now each of this info is shown as a Form which is then added to the tab
so here is how it looks like
| Customer 1 | | Customer 2 |
|Balance Sheet 1| Customer 1 Summary| |Balance Sheet 2| Customer 2 Summary|
When I right click on Customer 1 tab I see there is option for Horizontal or Vertical Grouping and I can split the screen between Customer 1 and Customer 2.
However, I do not see the same options when I click on Balance Sheet 1 and Customer 1 Summary.
Is it possible to split the screen between tabs under each customer ? If yes, how do I do it ? Please help/advise.
Thanks
Josh
Hi Andreas,
That's correct, this has not been added. You should Submit a Feature Request.
Hi,
we use Infragistics 15.1 and have the same problem. We want to show an UltraTab on a second monitor. I'm afraid, the TabControl still doesn't support that. Am I right?

I beleive so. It works basically like the the docked windows in Visual Studio. That's what it is designed to do.
infrag2010 said:Or better option would be is there a setting associated with UltraTab which will enable the user to drag the tab to second monitor ? Just like in VS 2010 IDE, I can move the code window to the second monitor.
No, the TabControl cannot do this.

Let me know, Thanks again for your response.
Hi Josh,
If I understand you correctly, Customer 1 and Customer 2 in your example are MDI child forms. So these are handled by the UltraTabbedMDIManager and can be split into groups.
But Balance Sheet and Customer Summary are tabs in an UltraTab control. The UltraTab deals with controls on a form and not forms, so it cannot split into groups like TabbedMdiManager can. But if you want your users to be able to move the tabs around within the form, then you might be able to acheive something like this using DockManager to create a group of tabs on the form instead of using the UltraTab control.
