Hi,
In an environment with already opened MDI windows, is it possible to open new MDI windows with a different tab width than those already displayed?Can I also set a maximum width for the tabs of these new windows?
Can we also display a tooltip to view the full text on the tab?
Best regards
Hi Pokorny,
You can set the width of any tab by using the TabWidth property on the settings object:
ultraTabbedMdiManager1.TabGroups[groupIndex].Tabs[tabIndex].Settings.TabWidth
I am not aware of a way to automatically set a max width. Would it work to use the TabWidth property to constrain the width manually?
If the tab's text is not fully shown, a tooltip should display the full text of the tab by default. Please let me know if you do not observe this behavior.
Hi Mike,Thanks for your advice, I was able to do pretty much what I wanted with the InitializeTab event.On the other hand, when the text of the tab is too long and I defined a TabWidth, the cut is brutal without the appearance of the three small points indicating this cut.Is there a property that makes these three points appear?
Regards
Hi Christian,
You can make the ellipsis appear by setting the TextTrimming property on the appearance:
ultraTabbedMdiManager1.Appearance.TextTrimming = Infragistics.Win.TextTrimming.EllipsisCharacter;
Please try this out and let me know whether it works.
Hi Mike,
Yes, it works.
Thank you very much for your help.
