Here is the sample

Sassan,

The option I gave you is a built-in functionality, another approach would be to use CreationFilter but I do not see the point in this, since you could just create a new instance of the 'UltraButton' class and place it wherever you want, doing whatever you would like it to.

Hi Boris,

so there is no comfortable way to achieve a behaviour like illustrated in the first posts within this thread?

I mean if i create buttons and place them within the application by myself i get problems with longer tab texts, positioning and so on.

Whats the point of the CreationFilter? There is a way to build my destinated functionality with using that filter?

Kind regards,

Sassan

Hi Sassan,

There should be some way to achieve something like this with CreationFilter for sure. I am not sure what you want now - you want a close button on the UltraTabControl's tab page, but you do not want it on the caption with the built-in functionality. From what I can see looking at your screenshot, the close button is exactly in the caption area - am I missing something?

Hi Boris,

i think we are targetting different goals.

I am using the ultradockmanager and my question is about how to realize a behaviour like Georgie has shown me for the ultratabcontrol for the ultradockmanager. So how can i achieve a tab close button within the tab area of the ultradockmanager?

Ahmad,

my question targets the ultradockmanager not the ultratabcontrol.

Hi Sassan,

Okay, but what is wrong with my first post and the following line:

   this.ultraDockManager1.DefaultPaneSettings.AllowClose = Infragistics.Win.DefaultableBoolean.True; ?

I have tried this and it is providing a small close button for the top-right section of the pane's caption.

I agree 100% - please add this as a feature request for future releases. I am trying to implement this now myself and in our application we are creating / adding / removing panes dynamically so attaching the error handler has become a wee bit trickier as well as positioning the buttons.

Edit:

I have created an official feature request for this here:

http://ideas.infragistics.com/forums/192359-windows-forms/suggestions/4279784-ultradockmanager-option-for-close-buttons-in-tab

If you would like this functionality as well, please go vote for it.

Thanks!

Hi,

solved the second problem by using a ascii 1 symbol.

So now everything is fine.

Thank you for your patience and help.

Any chance that this will get a build-in functionality for a next release of your controls?

Kind regards,

Sassan

Hi again,

some correction.

By using the tabs rectangle width i was able to solve the positioning problem.

But still have no clue how to extend the tab width by a fixed size to have place for the closing button.

Kind regards,

Sassan

Hi Boris,

i realised your example within our application and it's getting close to that what i've intented.

But there are 2 problems i can not solve by myself.

First, how to extend the tab - area width, cause they don't have the space for the close buttons without having a overlap of tab-text and the inserted button.

Second, all buttons seems to have the same position related to their owning tab-area. But there is needed a individual placement depending on the owning tab-area element to prevent such a miss-displacement like seen on the screenshot above.

Kind regards,

Sassan

Sassan,

Could you please review the sample attached to this post and see if it meets your requirements.
Please feel free to let me know if I misunderstood you or if you have any other questions.
