  Via drag-and-drop, you can easily reorder tabs.

• Built-in Close Buttons - allow end-users to temporarily hide unnecessary windows.
  
  

  

• Closed Panels Toolbar - allows you to restore panel visibility.

  You can make a Close Panel visible which will allow an end-user to access all closed panels.

  

• Float State - you can enable free positioning of float panel or restrict movement to the application's window boundaries.
  
  

  

• Automatic Splitters - automatically created splitter controls allow you to resize dock windows that are placed side-by-side.
