Comments

The Style property defines the control's basic style.

Tab control styles marked ¹⁾ use a rotated font.

The Attributes property page can be used to determine the display style of the tab control, based on the defined Style property.

Depending on the tab control style defined using the Style property, certain other properties may no longer apply and are ignored. The property dialogs can be used to determine if a tab style supports certain properties.

A scrollable tab control (see Scrolling.Style) only supports one row of tabs.

²⁾ When Windows themes are used with tab style styleSftTabsModernTop, a single tab on a tab row with insufficient space for the tab will result in an incorrect display. The only workaround is to use another tab style or to turn off Windows themes for the control (see UseThemes property).

Example

Private Sub Form_Load()
    SftTabs1.Tabs.Rows = 2
    SftTabs1.Style = styleSftTabsModernDualLeftRightV
End Sub
