- Organize your menu items with large and small icons or use a drop down menu.
- Add frequently used functions to a quick access toolbar.

Docking System
The Docking System acts as a replacement to PowerBuilder's traditional MDI frame window. It gives users a tabbed interface to navigate between open windows. Additionally, it allows you to dock and pin commonly used functions to the top, bottom, left, or right sides of the window.
Other features include:
- Floating document tabs.
- Dynamically change a dock panels size and pinned\unpinned state.
- Trigger events on the active document or all documents.
- Use traditional MDI instead of the tabbed document interface.

Tile Menu
PowerTiles is a Windows tiles control that can be used for better navigation within your application. The design is responsive which means the layout will adjust to the size of the container that it's in (when resized by the container).
Use this control to quickly present users with core options and functionality available in your application.

PowerMessage is a new way to display messages to users. It replaces the traditional PowerBuilder MessageBox function, offering a more modern look and feel.
