Tabbed and Classic MDI

Classic MDI

Using the DocumentGroup container, you can deliver true MDI interfaces, where documents are represented as floating windows within the parent container. All classic MDI layout features are available to end-users - from maximizing or collapsing windows to automatically arranging them using the Cascade, Vertical Tiling or Horizontal Tiling styles.

Tabbed MDI

In Tabbed MDI mode, child windows will be displayed as tabbed pages. Even if you don't do so when designing your application, end-users will still be able to choose this layout style by using window title context menus.

Tabbed layout provides a great deal of flexibility for end-users. They can re-order documents by simply dragging tabs within the header panel. If a tab is dragged outside the header panel area, the corresponding document is automatically moved to a newly created window. They can then drag the window back to move the document into a tab.

Tab orientation, position and content are fully customizable. The Tab header panel can also include a dropdown that allows you to switch between documents.

Multi-Monitor Support

If you have a multiple monitor environment, you can easily move documents to your second monitor, so improving your productivity.
