Can you please give me some info about when Expressbars will provide support for Diamond docking zone selectors like those avaibale in Visual Studio 2008 for years ?

Will this ever be added to the product ?

Thank you !

Is the glass extending down to the ribbon in those shots? It's pretty hard to tell with nothing in the background.

btw Bernd, zone selectors were introduced in VS2005 ;)

Why don't you implement Diamond docking zone selectors ??

This is the docking zone selection mode used in VS 2008 and VS 2010 and I would like to use it in my applications.

I have no use for that Ribbon nonsense but I would really like the docking mechanism to be updated to support the Visual Studio style for docking zone selection.

Can you plese implement that for Expressbars 7 ?

Thank you.

That mini-toolbar looks like a superuseful feature :) I hope I will be able to pop it up *anywhere* like both in LayoutControl, Editors, In-place Editors and View areas!
