Hello Chiragkumar,
Thank you for posting in our forum.
If I understand you correctly you need to create tabbed layout in your application. There are several option to achieve this with Infragistics controls as described below:
UltraTabControl - this control provides a superset of the functionality of the TabControl provided by Microsoft. More information about this control you may find by following the next link http://help.infragistics.com/Doc/WinForms/current/CLR4.0/?page=WinTab_About_WinTab_and_WinTabStrip.html. Please check also the samples on the following link http://ko.infragistics.com/products/windows-forms/layouts/tab.
UltraTabStripControl - this control exposes all of the functionality of the UltraTabControl except that each tab does not create its own tab page control.
UltraTabbedMdiManager – this component allows you to show each MDI child as tab item, the same way they are shown in Visual Studio. Check the following link for additional information http://help.infragistics.com/Doc/WinForms/current/CLR4.0/?page=WinTabbedMdiManager_About_WinTabbedMdiManager.html and also the samples here http://ko.infragistics.com/products/windows-forms/layouts/tabbed-mdi.
UltraDockManager – this component allows you to dock any control same way you do it in Visual Studio. When several controls are docked at same side, a group pane is created. The group pane has several styles, among which is and Tab group style. When the style is set to tab group all the controls are displayed as tabs. Please follow the next link for additional information about this component http://help.infragistics.com/Doc/WinForms/current/CLR4.0/?page=WinDockManager_Group_Styles.html as well as this link where you may find samples with this component http://ko.infragistics.com/products/windows-forms/layouts/dock-manager.
Please let me know if you need any additional information.
Thank you for using Infragistics Controls.
Hi Miko,
Thanks for replying. I have gone through the controls, though I am not able to resemble the functionalities looking for. I am looking for a tabbed layout with good split options. Actually it's not only tab. It's a tabsplitter, which splits tab controls, switch them, minimize to the corner and extends the size of other tab control to full and gives the normal split functionality (horizontally / vertically).
To make it more meaningful, I have attached the screenshot with this. It should help you to understand the exact functionality. Let me know if I can use any similar thing.
Meanwhile I am trying to combine the controls and see if I can find any option.
Thanks,
Chirag.
Hi Chirag,
Right now we do not have similar control, allowing you to split the tabs and to be able to maximize / minimize different groups. The closest one you can use is UltraTabbedMdiManager. This component allows you to show different MDI children in tabbed user interface. This control also allows you to organize different tabs in separate groups. However it will not allow you to move tab from one group to another via its standard interface. The end user may achieve this via control's context menu. There is no also minimize / maximize build in functionality for the groups.
After looking into this and doing some research, the idea to add switch group button to UltraTabbedMdiManager as well as allowing end user to maximize / minimize groups has been determined to be a new product idea. You can suggest new product ideas for future versions (or vote for existing ones) at <http://ideas.infragistics.com>.

Add your product idea and be sure to be specific and provide as much detail as possible.
Explain the context in which a feature would be used, why it is needed, why it can’t be accomplished today, and who would benefit from it. You can even add screenshots to build a stronger case. Remember that for your suggestion to be successful, you need other members of the community to vote for it. Be convincing!
Include a link to this thread in your idea so product management will be able to look back at this case.
