I’d like to make an application which user can drag and drop tab to make a new window contains
a tab control user holds. What i am looking for is the exact same functionality of Google
Chrome browser for window and Internet explorer 9. Both Applications create a new window if
if user drags and drop a tab out of original window. and vice versa.
How do i do this? Any advice or sample code will be appreciated
It’s not a simple task, but if you work through it bit by bit…
Most tab controls will allow you to detect mousedown (and maybe even drag) and when the cursor is moved away from the tab row, you create a new window with a single tab (and maybe a frame depending on what you want).
When they drop, show the rest of the frame as required.
As for moving the content, this depends on your application layout but it can be as simple as changing the container of a control (
SetParent()) or the destination of a render.You can also just drag an “image” of the tab and only create the window when they drop.
Getting any more detail than this is going to be preety much impossible without specifics (and you actually accept an answer).
