TMS ToolPanels

Note: All components from the TMS VLC UI Pack can now be found here.
A widely known general component of Xafari Framework, dock panels have the role of displaying context information about a given object in the main form. Since all additional information is displayed within separate windows, it makes it easier for the user to focus on the data at hand, which entails less effort and more speed in acknowledging the information.
TMS ToolPanels is a set of components which helps developers to design Visual Studio. NET like interfaces with sliding and docking panels. Take note that the library consists of two main components, namely TAdvToolPanelTab and TadvToolPanel, and the first one's role is to help you manage the latter's docking, lock and unlock of the panels as well as the slide-in and slide-out controls.
As you would expect, the library enables you to create expandable sections that you can further customize, so they match your GUI's design, such as extensive tab look control as well as intelligent stretched tab backgrounds. Embedding the components to your application is a rather straightforward task, particularly since you can automatically save and restore panel states from the registry or INI file directly. At the same time, you can duplicate docks conveniently, as the library supports code-less docking from one panel to another.
