SftTabs/OCX 6.5 - Tab Control for VB6

SftTabs.MakeNaturalSize Method

Resizes the control (without client area) to its optimal height or width.

Syntax

object

A SftTabs object.

Comments

The MakeNaturalSize method resizes a tab control without client area to its optimal height (or width for vertically aligned tabs).

If screen real-estate needs to be preserved, this method changes a horizontal tab control's height to its optimal height. A vertically aligned tab control is resized in width.

This method can only be used if the tab control doesn't have a client area (see ClientArea).

The Tabs.ForcedSize property can override the height/width of tab rows, affecting the tab control size.

The NaturalSize property can be used to determine the optimal size without resizing the control.

Example

Private Sub Form_Load()
    With SftTabs1
        .ClientArea = False
        .MakeNaturalSize
    End With
End Sub
