Here is the sample

Hello Sassan,

We are still following your forum thread.

Please feel free to let us know if you have any other questions on that matter, once you try the latest suggestion.

Thank you.

Hello Boris,

hello Danko,

sorry for my late answer.

Yes Boris, your answer is in that way correct that i also see a small close button within the caption area. But my question is if there is a chance to display it within the tab area - like it is possible with the ultratabcontrol. I suggest that there is no standard way to 'move' this close button within the tab area instead the caption area. Or do you have an example for that? The other question would be if there is a chance for a future implementation for my destinated behaviour of the dock manager.

Kind regards,

Sassan

Hello Sassan,

Since I am still not sure what you mean, a screenshot with the wrong and desired look would be very helpful!

As to the way of implementing this - you could use CreationFilter.

You could read about it at the following link: http://help.infragistics.com/Help/NetAdvantage/WinForms/2012.2/CLR4.0/html/Win_Creation_Filter.html.
Here are some topics from our community which could also help you: http://community.infragistics.com/forums/t/34485.aspx, http://forums.infragistics.com/forums/t/47561.aspx http://community.infragistics.com/forums/t/58186.aspx, http://community.infragistics.com/forums/t/9989.aspx and http://community.infragistics.com/forums/t/50234.aspx.
The above approach is not so recommended, because it features element resizing, creating or removing and could lead to some unexpected behaviors.
Please do not hesitate to ask if something comes up.

Hi Boris,

i am not a well painter but i tried my best to show you what i mean.

I didn't had the time to test that creationfilter stuff. If i tried it - i will notice you within this thread.

Kind regards,

Hi Sassan,

I meant to upload a screenshot of a real application, showing the component and the desired location of the button, so I can know exactly where you want it and to suggest an approach.

I agree 100% - please add this as a feature request for future releases. I am trying to implement this now myself and in our application we are creating / adding / removing panes dynamically so attaching the error handler has become a wee bit trickier as well as positioning the buttons.

Edit:

I have created an official feature request for this here:

http://ideas.infragistics.com/forums/192359-windows-forms/suggestions/4279784-ultradockmanager-option-for-close-buttons-in-tab

If you would like this functionality as well, please go vote for it.

Thanks!

Hi,

solved the second problem by using a ascii 1 symbol.

So now everything is fine.

Thank you for your patience and help.

Any chance that this will get a build-in functionality for a next release of your controls?

Kind regards,

Sassan

Hi again,

some correction.

By using the tabs rectangle width i was able to solve the positioning problem.

But still have no clue how to extend the tab width by a fixed size to have place for the closing button.

Kind regards,

Sassan

Hi Boris,

i realised your example within our application and it's getting close to that what i've intented.

But there are 2 problems i can not solve by myself.

First, how to extend the tab - area width, cause they don't have the space for the close buttons without having a overlap of tab-text and the inserted button.

Second, all buttons seems to have the same position related to their owning tab-area. But there is needed a individual placement depending on the owning tab-area element to prevent such a miss-displacement like seen on the screenshot above.

Kind regards,

Sassan

Sassan,

Could you please review the sample attached to this post and see if it meets your requirements.
