Tab window?

Hello!
How do I achieve in my application a window similar to the Toolbox and
Server Explorer windows in Visual Studio 2005 itself?

Ideally, I want to have a TreeView on the left side of my form with a
vertical splitter that lets the user adjust the width of the TreeView,
but also with a vertical tab on the far left side that allows the user
to toggle the visibility of the TreeView.

Is that an MDI window with specific properties set or is it something else?

Can someone tell me at a high level how I can achieve the same thing in
my application?

Thanks!

I'm afraid I don't completely understand what you're saying, but here
I go...

It sounds to me like a simple SDI form (unless you mean something like
an mmc plugin) with a splitter control with a treeview dock filled in
the right panel.

What I don't understand is the vertical tab part. Do you mean
something like the slide out panels like in VS? Or something else? You
also might do a search on codeproject.com - there are plenty of
examples of both the explorer style and VS style UIs.

Thanks,

Thanks Seth,
Sounds like slide-out panels might be what I'm looking for.
Any idea how to implement that in VS2005?
