Visual Studio 2010 IDE style Tabs in my VB.NET Project

Is there an "out of the box" way to create a tab control that works similar to the one in the Visual Studio 2010 IDE?

I want to have a Close "X" on each tab page and a button at the end to list all of the tabs. I would also like to be able to undock the tabs and drag to multiple monitors.

Solution 1

Have you looked on Codeplex for code that does it? BTW, VS2010's UI was done with WPF. It should be fairly simple to duplicate the functionality.

I would say, AvalonDock (see my Answer). And it is not simple to duplicate such functionality, I think.

Solution 2

Tabbed interface in not a problem, this is a regular control TabControl.

I think you're asking about docking interface like in Visual Studio, not just a tabbed part of it. The closest thing I know is AvalonDock for WPF: http://avalondock.codeplex.com/[^].
