The DXDocking suite provides several approaches to display content in tabs. For this, you can use either of the following containers
- A LayoutGroup with GroupBorderStyle set to Tabbed;
- A TabbedGroup;
- A DocumentGroup.
In this example, we demonstrated all three approaches.
Although all these groups allow displaying tabs, they are designed for use in different scenarios.
A DocumentGroup will be the best choice if the task is to display dynamic content. It works similar to the document area in the Visual Studio.
A TabbedGroup is designed to display more static content like toolbars, service information, etc.
A LayoutGroup with the Tabbed style is intended to display a static set of elements. Unlike DocumentGroup and TabbedGroup, it supports moving tabs only in customization mode.
