tabpanel

I want to build a user-interface that, for historical reasons, has a lot of "columns" of information. Many of these aren't relevant for all users in all cases, so I thought I'd look at dock panels to allow the users to hide or rearrange the columns according to their job scenario.

This is Winforms in .NET 3.5.

As such, I'd like the following:

Have tab-pages in the main form
Each tab-page can have dock-panels docked into them
Dock-panels should be movable from one tab-page to another

Example mockup

I've tried the following component packages so far without luck:

Telerik

Allows me to dock inside a tab-page, but dock-panels can't move from one tab-page to another. When attempting to drop a floating panel onto a different tab-page than the one it came from, it appears the dock will succeed, but when dropped it is docked on its owner container.

Divelements SandDoc

Same problems as with Telerik.

DevExpress XtraBars

Same problems as with Telerik.

Basically, does anyone know of any such component (package) that would allow me to do what I want?
