Post From: Window behavior consistency + question about tab grouping

1.

With Sierra Chart now managing its own window system, would it be possible for these windows to behave like normal Sierra Chart windows in terms of parent/child relationship, focus, and stacking behavior? This is a consistency question rather than a request for new functionality.
If you are asking about if these can become what are called MDI child windows. This is involved to implement. Very involved. But we will support the Time and Sales window to be attached to its associated chart.

2. As we understand what you are asking about, this is coming with each Chartbook being contained within its own window:


Given the move to internal (non-OS) window management, I am curious whether optional tab grouping for windows (for example, DOMs) is technically compatible with Sierra Chart’s current design direction, or if it is considered out of scope.

All of the Trading DOMs that you want in a tab group will be in its own Chartbook which will be visible all of the time. A Trading DOM can be attached into the main window for the Chartbook which it belongs to. And it will have its own tab.
