    DockingTab lets you to create docking and floating tab pages that can be dragged interactively around to make them float over any location. The control also allows you to tear off individual tab pages and automatically dock them to one of the other sides of the form, to another DockingTab control, or even float in a separate tool window.

    The image below shows the DockingTab application at runtime.

    To observe the docking and floating behavior of the tab pages, select any one of the tab pages with your mouse and drag it anywhere on the form or screen.

    The image below shows the floating individual tab page.

    Note: You can use the C1CommandDock property FloatHide to control how the C1DockingTabPage behaves at run-time. This property allows you to choose to keep focus on the tab pages when the application loses focus. There are three possible settings for C1CommandDock.FloatHide: Default, Never, or FocusLost.
