MDI Tab Groups

• Ability to create one or more tabbed windows dynamically or using the library's API
• Horizontal or vertical alignment of tabbed windows
• Tabbed windows are divided by splitters. The splitters allow the user to resize tabbed windows
• Ability to drag individual tabs between groups
• Ability to drag individual tabs and create new groups
• Ability to move tabs or create new groups using context menu
• Ability to save and load layout of tabbed windows
• Option to save and load the list of documents (it also applies to any MDI interface
• Its' possible to access individual tabbed groups and modify their parameters

Sample code:

// The code below is usually located
// in CMainFrame::OnCreate:
CBCGPMDITabParams params;

// Enable tab icons:
params.m_bTabIcons = TRUE;

// Tab windows will be created 
// with VS 2005 style:
