    LinsUI Layout Manager is a user interface layout manager for Windows Forms application. It supports both multiple document interface (MDI) and tabbed document interface (TDI), and both can be mixed-used.

    The Tabbed Form Group (TFG) feature is useful for minimizing screen space usage while allowing an application to expose a large amount of data. Both individual form and TFG can be dragged to any place or docked to top, bottom, left, right, or center of MDI client. One individual form can be dragged onto another individual form to create a new TFG. Individual tab can be dragged between TFGs. The Minimize feature hides an individual form or TFG under the status bar. The Maximize feature zooms out an individual form or TFG to the whole MDI client area. The Group feature of TFG enables users to do page comparison among tabbed groups easily.

    The Tabbed Panel Group (TPG) feature is useful for minimizing screen space usage while allowing an application to expose a large amount of data. Both individual panel and TPG can be dragged to any place or docked to top, bottom, left, or right of application frame. One individual panel can be dragged onto another individual panel to create a new TPG. Individual tab can be dragged between TPGs. The Pin button auto-hides an individual panel or TPG to top, bottom, left, or right frame of the application while the panel or the TPG is still open.

    Tool items are customizable and editable. Tool item can be dragged between toolbars or menus. The Toolbars / Menubars Customization page enable user change toolbar and menu appearance, such as font size, face, color, style, and icon size. The New Tool Container Customization page allows user to create a new menu or a new toolbar for any panel or main frame. The Composite Command Customization page let user choose multi commands in any order to create a new command, which is Composite Command (CC). CC gives user the ability to execute multi-command by only one click. The Help  button of a command tooltip links command to its documentation.  The Search panel helps user to use keyword to locate the functionality inside the application.

    LinsUI Layout Manager enhances the appearance of UI with gradient background and elegant layout. Different user can export his favorite UI layout and settings as a XML file. When need it, can be imported back any time. All panels, toolbars, or menus can be edited under design mode easily.

    It is easy to use LinsUI Layout Manager; barely requires code change to embed it into an existing project.
