Tab control like Google Chrome tabs? [closed]

Answer 1

Are you looking for WPF or WinForms? DevExpress and Infragistics both have tabbed MDI controls for WinForms. They seem designed to replicate the Visual Studio tabs, but you should be able to customise them to match Chrome.

Edit: as an open-source starting point you could try the one by Weifen Luo. It doesn't seem as customisable as the commercial ones, although I believe it supports rearrangement by dragging.

Answer 2

I looked for something similar a while back and ended up building my own. There are docking frameworks out there, but that was not what I was looking for.

I used the FabTab on codeplex as a starting point. I removed the features we didn't want and added others, like dragging from one tab control and dropping it on a second to move the tab, and having tabs on all 4 sides at once, if desired.

Answer 3

I know I am very late to the party but after working on multiple projects where I implemented this I have started a new open source library:
