Remarks
The DocumentGroup object contains child DocumentPanel objects that allow you to create a tabbed or MDI interface. To create a tabbed interface, set the DocumentGroup.MDIStyle property to MDIStyle.Tabbed.
If DocumentPanels are shown as tabs, they can display Pin buttons that allow an end user to pin and unpin a current tab at runtime. Pinned tabs are stacked to either the left or right side. The figure below illustrates an example.
Use DocumentGroup.PinLocation attached property in an XAML markup to specify where the pinned tabs are located.
Use the DocumentGroup.SetPinLocation and GetPinLocation methods to do the same from code:
