Hide tab bar if only one tab is visible

Hi Stefan,

Sorry but we don't have that functionality in there at this time.  While docked tool windows will hide the tab strip if there is only one tab (since there is still contextual information in the tool window container title bar), tabbed MDI will not hide the tab strip if there is only one tab.  In that case, no UI would be showing for the documents.

Hi,

is it possible to implement a visible property for the document tab bar? Right now, my users can hide the tab bar in the options and for the nested tabs it woulb be awesome to have the ability to hide the root tab bar if only one tab is visible. It's not super important and there's no rush but if this can be implemented in one of the future builds, that would be great!

thx

Hi Stefan,

I'll add the suggestion to our list.

Thanks, much appreciated!

Any improvement 8 years after ?

Hello,

I'm sorry but this wasn't prioritized for implementation.  Can you describe your use case in detail so we can add it to our notes on the related TODO item and review it again?  Thanks!

On a side note, if you use Standard (windowed) MDI instead of Tabbed MDI and maximize the document window, it will fill the workspace.  That may be an alternative for you if you like that style of MDI.

We're happy to report that v25.1 will have built-in support to hide the tab strip of the MDI area if there is only one tab present. This will be enabled by setting TabbedMdiHost.SingleTabLayoutBehavior to Hide.
