Controlling DockingStyle.Tabbed window order

[Jorge Codina]

Hi,

I'm programmatically adding new tabs to a window via the DockingManager. The new tabs are always inserted to the left of the existing tabs. I would like to reverse this behavior, so that new tabs are added to the right. I haven't found any DockingManager method that gives me any control over this. Please help.

Here's the existing code:

this.dockingManager1.DockControl(newTab, this.gridNavigationControlBar2, Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools.DockingStyle.Tabbed, newTab.Height);
this.dockingManager1.SetDockLabel(newTab, newTab.Name );
this.dockingManager1.SetEnableDocking(newTab, true);

Hi Dan,

The current version of the DockingManager does not provide a means to specify an insertion order for the tabs. I have logged this as a feature request and we will try to provide this functionality in a future version of Essential Tools. Please bear with us in the meantime.

Please note that the DockingManager.SetEnableDocking() call in the above code snippet is not required. SetEnableDocking is needed only when not using the DockControl/FloatControl API. The DockControl method should suffice here.
