Hi Telerik!
I use the following code to open a new form in a tab. however, when I want to open a different form in another new tab, it does not open with a focus, but rather, I have to click on that tab to see it
If gF_bFormAbierto("frmProd") = True Then
MsgBox("frm is open")
Else
RadDock1.Visible = True
Dim childForm As frmProductos = New frmProd()
childForm.MdiParent = Me
childForm.Show()
End If
image example: the one I mark with a red arrow is the new form that I opened

Hi, Agustin,
RadDock has the capability of automatically finding and attaching Multiple Document Interface (MDI) child forms as tabbed documents:
https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/controls/dock/mdi-mode/automatic-mdi-form-handling
Thus, when a new form is shown, it is automatically activated:
Here is the sample code snippet I tested:
Sub New()
InitializeComponent()
Me.IsMdiContainer = True
Me.RadDock1.AutoDetectMdiChildren = True
End Sub
Private Sub RadButton1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles RadButton1.Click
Dim childForm As New Form()
childForm.Text = "MDI Child " & DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString()
childForm.MdiParent = Me
childForm.Show()
End SubI have also attached my sample project for your reference. Please give it a try and see how it works on your end.
I hope this information helps. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me.

I think it's because I'm opening forms inside these tabs but I'm not sure.
anyway there is some command to bring each tab to the front... let's say how to simulate what the click does, but from the code, it would be ideal to solve my problem
