Docking Manager showCaption = false, Dock Tabs are not visible

Hi Peter,

This issue could be resolved by setting the DockTabControl.Location manually. When ShowCaption is set to false, we have to set the Location property to (1, 1 ) manually.

[Code]
private DockTabControl setTabAlign()
{

DockHost dh = this.checkedListBox1.Parent as DockHost;
DockHostController dhc = dh.InternalController as DockHostController;
DockTabController dtc = dhc.ParentController as DockTabController;
DockTabControl dtab = dtc.TabControl as DockTabControl;
dtab.Location = new Point(1, 1);

return dtab;
}

private void dockingManager1_DockStateChanged(object sender, DockStateChangeEventArgs arg)
{
DockHost dh = this.dockingManager1.ActiveControl.Parent as DockHost;
DockHostController dhc = dh.InternalController as DockHostController;
DockTabController dtc = dhc.ParentController as DockTabController;
if (dtc != null)
{
DockTabControl dtab = dtc.TabControl as DockTabControl;
dtab.Location = new Point(1, 1);
dtab.SelectedIndexChanged -= new EventHandler(dtab_SelectedIndexChanged);
dtab.SelectedIndexChanged += new EventHandler(dtab_SelectedIndexChanged);
}

}

private void dockingManager1_NewDockStateEndLoad(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DockTabControl dtab = setTabAlign();
dtab.SelectedIndexChanged += new EventHandler(dtab_SelectedIndexChanged);
}

void dtab_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
setTabAlign();
}

I was able to implement your example, but when I add more than 2 tab controls, the tabs disappear. My real goal is to dynamically dock controls only in a tabbed style, but If there is only one docked control i do not want the ability to undock the control, the conclusion I came up with is to not show the caption bar. Is their a better way of doing this? I apologize for the multiple issues, thank you for your quick response and help on this matter. I will continue to investigate this issue. Any help on these issues would most appreciated
