    1. Place the C1CommandDock control onto your form using a drag-and-drop operation.

    4. Build and run the application. Select Page1 with your mouse and drag it downward. Your docking tab at run time should look like the following docking tab:

    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.
