    We are evaluating the purchase of your Blazor components, primarily for the DockingLayout and Window components.  We are attempting to emulate a tabbed mdi similar to Visual Studio’s.  However, we have been unable to determine how to add TabItems to an existing LayoutPanel of a DockingLayout.

    In the forums I found several dated references to accomplishing this via the javascript version of the control (the properties used do not exist in the Blazor version) and one reference from almost a year ago stating it was unsupported at that time but that a work item was being added for it.  I also reviewed the demo examples that add an entire new LayoutPanel,  but not TabItems to an existing LayoutPanel.

    Is it now possible to programmatically add tab items to an existing LayoutPanel?

    Hi Ehill,

    I have created a complete code example which showcases the functionality that you require.

    In your razor file:

    
    <style>
    		smart-docking-layout {
    			width: 100%;
    			height: 500px;
    			max-width: 1000px;
    			background-color: #EEEDF3;
    		}
    			smart-docking-layout .smart-items-container smart-splitter-item.smart-element,
    			smart-docking-layout .smart-items-container > .smart-container > smart-splitter-item.smart-element {
    				width: 50%;
    				height: 50%;
    			}
    			smart-docking-layout smart-tabs-window smart-slider.smart-element,
    			smart-docking-layout smart-tabs-window smart-multiline-text-box.smart-element {
    				height: 100%;
    				width: 100%;
    			}
    			smart-docking-layout smart-tabs-window smart-multiline-text-box.smart-element {
    				display: block;
    			}
    	</style>
        <button @onclick="addItem"> Add item</button>
    	<DockingLayout @ref="dockingLayout" OnReady="OnReady" Layout=@layoutStructure>
    	</DockingLayout>
    	<div id="Input">
    		<br />
    		<br />
    		<TextArea Value="What is Lorem Ipsum?"></TextArea>
    	</div>
    	<div id="Slider">
    		<br />
    		<br />
    		<Slider Value="50" ShowButtons="true" TicksVisibility="TicksVisibility.Major" TicksPosition="TicksPosition.Track"></Slider>
    	</div>
    @code {
        DockingLayout dockingLayout;
    
    	private void addItem () {
            int index= 1;
            dockingLayout.InsertBeforeItem(index,  new object[] {
    				new {
    					type = "LayoutGroup",
    					size = 200,
    					items = new object[] {
    						new {
    							type = "LayoutPanel",
    							label = "Input",
    							id = "tabPanel",
    							items = new object[] {
    								new {
    									type = "LayoutPanel",
    									label = "TextBox Tab",
    									content = "#Input"
    								},
    								new {
    									type = "LayoutPanel",
    									label = "Slider Tab",
    									content = "#Slider"
    								}
    							}
    						}
    					}
    				}
                    }
                    );
        }
    	private object[] layoutStructure = new object[] {
    		new {
    			type = "LayoutGroup",
    			orientation = "horizontal",
    			items = new object[] {
    				new {
    					type = "LayoutGroup",
    					size = 200,
    					items = new object[] {
    						new {

    							id = "tabPanel",

    								new {
    									type = "LayoutPanel",
    									label = "TextBox Tab",
    									content = "#Input"
    								},
    								new {
    									type = "LayoutPanel",
    									label = "Slider Tab",
    									content = "#Slider"
    								}
    							}
    						}
    					}
    				},
    				new {
    					type = "LayoutPanel",
    					label = "Output",
    					items = new object[]{
    						new {
    							id="outputTab",
    							label = "Output",
    							headerPosition = "none",
    							content = "Write more text here..."
    						}
    					}
    				}
    			}
    		},
    		new {
    			id = "item0",
    			label = "Tabs 0",
    			items = new object[]{
    				new {
    					label = "Tab A",
    					selected = true,
    					content = "What is Lorem Ipsum?\n" +
    						"Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.

    						"It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout.

    				}
    			}
    		}
    	};
    	private void OnReady(DockingLayout dockingLayout)
    	{
    	}
    }

    Let me know what you think!

    If I am not mistaken that appears to be adding an entire group, panel, and panel items (tabs).  I need to insert a tab (tab item?) into an existing panel.

    For example, in the source you posted the default layoutStructure object array contains a panel with id=”item0′ and a label of “Tabs 0”.  It contains an Item with the label “Tab A” that renders as a tab.  I need to be able to dynamically add a new item (e.g. “Tab B”) to the existing “item0′ panel such that it displays in the same group/panel as Tab A.

    Is this possible to accomplish this in the Blazor version of the control now?  If so, how?

    Hi ehill,

    I would like to inform you that I have added a work item for which this functionality will be supported through the ‘Update’ method as this functionality currently is not supported for Blazor.

    We will work on this to be added as soon as we are able to.

    Please, do not hesitate to contact us if you have any additional questions.

    Hi Yavor,

    Is there any progress on this functionality? I couldn’t find it in API and trying to change the structure through update function is still not possible

    Hi Ozerk,

    API for adding a tab item into an existing panel is still not available.
