I am using xamDockManager with potentially 10 or more tabs being open, is is possible to have the width of the tab header dynamically set so that instead of some tabs not showing up(and having to click the down array to see whats there or pressing alt+f7) it will just resize all tab headers and clip some of the text automatically?
Basically I want to replicate the tab sizing that you would see in Google Chrome, where tabs start out a fixed width, but they all shrink as you start opening more and more tabs until you are left with just the icons being visible.
Anyone know of other options for easily managing lots of open tabs?
Hello,
Thank you for your post. I have been looking into it and I can suggest you see the sample in the Samples Browser under xamDockManager / Display / Controlling TabItem Layout and Minimization section, where by setting the TabLayoutStyle to “SingleRowSizeToFit” you can achieve the functionality you want. Please let me know if this helps you or you have further questions on this matter.
Looking forward for your reply.
Isn't that functionality only available for the xamTabControl and not the xamDockManager?
Hello again,
Since both XamTabControl and XamDockManger uses same elements to display the Tabs, this functionality is available for both controls. You can check the sample from the Samples Browser, which I suggested you in my previous post.
