One of the nice features of the VS.NET 2005 editor "Whidbey" is the ability to take a docking pane and have it displayed as a tabbed document (just like an MDI Child window).  Is this possible with the DockingPanes control?

Also, Whidbey adds a new icon to the title bar of a Docking Pane.  There is the typical "pin" and "close" icons that are already supported by DockingPanes, but there is a new third "dropdown arrow" icon that can be clicked to display a popup menu.  Do you plan to add support for this new icon in DockingPanes?  This popup-menu is a nice place to store user-configurable options for a particular pane.

Thanks in advance for the feedback!

Nice suggestions  Make sure that you submit these as feature requests.  For your first question, you can do something "similar" by changing the tab style to Office2003, moving them to the top, and attaching all your panes together.  Then you could do something like hide the client area, or dock the group of panes to one of the sides of the client area.  Not a perfect solution, but I think this is all that is possible right now.
