# DockingTab Overview

Get started with Menus and Toolbars for WinForms. Create versatile menus and docking/floating toolbars. See more in documentation here.

## Content



The [C1DockingTab](/componentone/docs/win/online-menus-toolbar/) control implements the familiar tab control interface, where several overlaying pages (each of which contains arbitrary controls) are accessible via tabs at the side of the control.

In addition to this standard behavior, [C1DockingTab](/componentone/docs/win/online-menus-toolbar/) also provides docking and floating behavior, where the whole control, or individual pages (tabs) can be torn off and automatically docked to one of the other sides of the form, to another [C1DockingTab](/componentone/docs/win/online-menus-toolbar/) control, or floated in a separate tool window. To enable the docking and floating behavior of the [C1DockingTab](/componentone/docs/win/online-menus-toolbar/) control, it must be placed inside a [C1CommandDock](/componentone/docs/win/online-menus-toolbar/). For more information, see [Enabling DockingTab Docking and Floating](/componentone/docs/win/online-menus-toolbar/menusandtoolbarsforw2/dockingtabtasks/enablingdockingtabdo).
