DockingTab provides the choice to either show or hide tabs in the control. For this purpose, DockingTab provides the [ShowTabs](/componentone/docs/win/online-command5/) property, which when set to true displays the tab. And, when set to false, hides the tabs and only shows the docking tab page. By default, the ShowTabs property is always set to true.
