====== Reordering tabs with the AllowDragReorder property ======

=== Published 24 JUN 2021 at 03:19:01PM ===

The next release of OpenInsight includes a new TABCONTROL property called **ALLOWDRAGREORDER**, which allows you to drag a tab to a new position within the control. It's a simple boolean property, and when set to True tabs may be dragged and reordered with the mouse - an image of the tab is moved with the cursor, and a pair of arrows are displayed to mark the potential insertion point.

Here's an example of a tab being dragged in the IDE:

==== Bonus trivia ====

  * The tabs may be scrolled while dragging by hovering outside either edge of the control.
  * This property is not supported for:
    * MultiLine tab controls
    * Vertically-aligned tab controls
  * The LISTBOX control also supports this property for reordering its items - see the "Order Tabs" dialog in the Form Designer for an example, or the list of types in the IDE's "Open Entity" dialog.
