    Hi -- I'm building a GUI application in Visual C++ 2003 using the drag-and-drop Windows Forms toolbox. Does anyone know a way to build docked windows/forms (tabbed windows) into an application? I'm aiming for a look similar to the docked windows in, for example, visual studio. Thanks in advance! Kim

        These are great controls. I have used them in the past and they are very easy to work with.

          As Richard pointed out, the controls from Divelements are great. They have a very simple programming model and a polished look to them.

              You could also take a look at DotNetBar[^]. They are very good, plus they support a wide variety of styles.

              the last thing I want to see is some pasty-faced geek with skin so pale that it's almost translucent trying to bump parts with a partner - John Simmons / outlaw programmer
              Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

                How do they work with Visual c++.net (2003 or later). Thanks, Kim

                  I have only used them from C#, but if you are doing managed C++ development they should work the same way. I have used them in VS2003 and VS2005 and both have worked great.
