Vertical tabs for pinned tool windows

Docking/MDI for Avalonia Forum

Hi,

From what I can see, this isn't currently possible so wondering if I can drop a feature request please? I would like the option for tool window tabs to remain in the vertical orientation after pinning open. Currently tabs switch to the bottom, which has a lot less realestate than the window height and it becomes awkwards for users to choose a tab when the tool area is narrow (as it usually is).

If there is a way to do this currently that would be even better!

thanks,

Matt

Hi Matt,

Can you email our support address with a series of screenshots showing an example of this scenario?  Ideally you could demonstrate it using our own Docking/MDI demo sample and tell us if you alter any options.  Please reference this thread in your email.  Thank you!

Sure, will do. All I mean is that when a tool window group is in an unpinned state, the tabs to select a tool window run vertically along the side (e.g. on the left of the window for a left-docked tool window). If I click one of the tabs to open a tool window and then pin it open, the tabs move to the bottom of the group. I would like an option to have them remain at the side. Does that make sense?
