1) When you drag & drop a tab the mouse cursor should change to a drag & drop cursor.

2) Drag & drop with CSGTabMdiOneNoteWnd and variable width tabs is quite difficult to use as the mouse cursor isn’t necessarily on the Tab being dragged. This happens when you drag a narrow tab over a wider tab. Also the highlighted (dark border) Tab changes as you drag. It is all very confusing to the user. A better implementation might be to change the mouse cursor to an image of the tab being dragged with an I insertion point. IE 7 works a bit like this, but doesn’t include an image of the tab.

3) I’d like to see an option to include a [x] close image on Tabs. I especially like the way IE7 works in that only the current Tab has an [x]. This saves space and has the advantage of making the current Tab easier to identify.

1) The behavior is absolutely the same as in the Microsoft Visual Studio .NET. You can create a CExtTabWnd-derived class and handle the WM_SETCURSOR message yourself. When the m_bDragging property is true, the tab is being dragged and you can change the mouse cursor.

2) We can regard this as a feature request.

3) This feature is already in our To-Do list.
