Hi, I am looking to use vertical tabs rather than the standard Horizontal tabs, I have searched google and everything I come accross doesn't seem to be correct or is otherwise some useless piece of information!

Any help will be much appreciated

Wanted to know the kind of help he is looking for... to start on how to do it or to find him a link that has a sample. :)

I think he requested something."vertical tabs rather than standard Horizontal tabs ...". Wasn't that clear for you ?

It was pretty clear he wanted a 'Vertical tab'. But he also added, he said "I have searched google and everything I come accross doesn't seem to be correct or is otherwise some useless piece of information".

Thus, it was not clear on now if he was asking us to provide some link of 'Veritical tab' OR how to code for that.

You clear now? Question as well my comment!

Can we assume you are looking for something deeper than the Alignment property of the tab control? Haven't used one in a while, but I think that property will throw the tabs where you want them (left, right, top, bottom)? ...or am I mistaken?

cheers for the quick replies guys, I was looking into making my own with custome design etc. I am using a tab control on wpf however I can't seem to find the alignment property at all. One of the website I found suggested that but liek I've said can't seem to find it in a tabcontrol on wpf any suggestion there?

Solution 1

Assuming you are using a TabControl in a Windows Form, you can set the direction of the tabs with the TabControl.Alignment[^] property.

5 - Good resources since the vertical tabs don't always do what you want them to. :)
