A Dockable Control/Component by Divelements Limited

SandDock is a powerful window layout engine designed to quickly and easily add advanced document paging and dockable windows functionality to your applications. Its two main components provide a modern replacement for the standard Windows MDI paradigm and an advanced dockable windows system that supports complex layout systems, collapsible control groups and intuitive redocking tools.

The unparalleled design-time support of SandDock means it only takes a few clicks of the mouse to get dockable windows set up and working in your form. All the hard work is taken care of, leaving you to configure your GUI the best way possible - visually. All the docking controls you're used to using at runtime work at design-time too, making SandDock the easiest tool of its kind to configure.

Like the other recent products on this site, SandDock has a fully pluggable rendering engine. Every part of the drawing process can be completely taken over for maximum flexibility. SandDock ships with three renderers, that mimic the appearance of Visual Studio 2003, Office 2003 and Visual Studio 2005.

Using the newer tabbed MDI interface is a great lightweight alternative to traditional MDI applications. Documents can still be rearranged and split in almost any way thinkable to ensure that the greatest flexibility of presentation is achieved.
