Question

I’m trying to create a fold-away style tab bar similar to what you see in programs like Blender:

I’m trying to figure out how to create a floating window with the window body to the left of the tabs. I’ve tried using a Popup and PopupPanel, but they keep automatically closing if I click outside of them. To be honest, I’m having trouble deciding between Window, Popup and PopupPanel for this.

This panel need to be anchored on the right side so it stays next to the tabs, but I’d like the left side to be resizeable so you can click and drag it to resize the contents. It should be able to display any of a wide variety of custom Controls inside it.

What is the best way to do this? Should I be using a Popup?

Have a look at WindowDialog. For example, AcceptDialog and ConfirmDialog are very convenient

I would probably use a Panel or PanelContainer, anything inheriting Window seems more complex than is necessary here.
