Is there any way to have this in U++?

They act like vertical tabs, but they're also like buttons that get checked:

Thanks

there must be. As TheIDE has a option to show the file tabs left or right.
Setup>Environment>Editor>File Tabs : Right or Left option.

Yes, with TabBar, you can put the tabs anywhere you want, see this picture Smile

The button-like experience should be possible to achieve using custom styling.

Best regards,

I figured I can simulate this behavior using ButtonOption.

Is there a way to load a layout inside a frame, similar to TabCtrl but without the tabs?

Yes. use ParentCtrl instead of TopWindow when instantiating the layout templates. see the address book example.

    WithModifyLayout<ParentCtrl> modify;
    WithSearchLayout<ParentCtrl> search;

Thanks. I'm trying something like this, but the layout is getting placed in the wrong place:

I usually do it this way. see the attached zip. i design the tab layout in layout designer like you. but I create the template class in code instead of layout designer. this way i get to call the CtrlLayout(*this) in its contractor. and add the tabs to the window using this<<tab1<<tab2; and the rest all same like you. and it just works.

Thank you!
Works great! You need to do it manually in code but no problem. I changed from the designer to text to copy the positions, then it was easy to do it in code.

This works like these dialogs we find in Microsoft programs:

Users seem to like this type of GUI.
