SandDock Features

• Through its advanced and flexible layout system, the SandDock controls are able to offer a great deal of features to help you configure a cutting-edge user interface in your application.


• Three renderers are provided that mimic recent versions of Visual Studio and Office.


• Rendering can be completely customised to create your own distinctive look and feel.


• Translucent docking hints offer a completely new, intuitive feedback mechanism during docking.


• Advanced designer integration means you can optionally design your dockable windows separately, like you would a UserControl, then add instances of them to your layout later.


• Dockable Windows
  • Complex window layouts like the ones possible in Visual Studio are easy to achieve.
  
  
  • Controls or groups of controls can be "torn off" to form floating windows.
  
  
  • Intuitive docking controls to perform floating and redocking operations.
  
  
  • Programmatic access to helper methods to dock, undock and redock windows.
  
  
  • Collapsible control groups to conserve screen real-estate.
  
  
  • No coding necessary - all window layout is done at design time just like you would at runtime.
  
  
  • Any control or group of controls can be dragged anywhere else in the docked hierarchy.


• Tabbed Documents
  • Designed to completely replace the traditional MDI display.
  
  
  • Wraps the SandDock docking and layout hierarchies in to a tabbed document management system.
  
  
  • Exposes events to keep track of the active document and potential document closures.
  
  
  • Documents can be dragged anywhere else in the window to "split" views between documents.
  
  
  • Provides access to the standard ctrl-tab and ctrl-shift-tab methods for switching windows.
  
  
  • Scrolling buttons for smooth access to document tabs that are out of view.
  
  
  • Renderers allows your document tabs to mimic either Visual Studio or OneNote.
  
  
  • The TabControl component provides the attractive tabbed document rendering SandDock offers wrapped in a simple TabControl, ideal for users who simply want a set of tabs and not the full tabbed document functionality.
