The <a href="C1.WPF.4~C1.WPF.C1TabControl.html">C1TabControl</a> control allows you to add tabs and corresponding content pages, thus enabling you to dispense substantial amounts of information while reducing screen space usage.</p> <p>Make the most of <strong>TabControl for WPF and Silverlight</strong> by taking advantage of the following key features:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Scroll Elements</strong></li> </ul> <blockquote style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" dir="ltr"> <p>The <strong>C1TabControl</strong> control will automatically insert scroll buttons when the amount of tabs exceeds the specified width or height of the control.</p> </blockquote> <ul> <li><strong>Tabstrip Placement</strong></li> </ul> <blockquote style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" dir="ltr"> <p>The <strong>C1TabControl</strong> can be placed at the top, bottom, left, or right of the control.</p> </blockquote> <ul> <li><strong>Tab Closing Options</strong></li> </ul> <blockquote style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" dir="ltr"> <p>Control whether the user can close tabs and where to show the close button. Display the close button inside each tab item or in a global location outside the tabstrip, just like Visual Studio does in its Documents tab.</p> </blockquote> <ul> <li><strong>Show Tabs in a Menu</strong></li> </ul> <blockquote style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" dir="ltr"> <p>The <strong>C1TabControl</strong> has an optional tab menu that can be activated by setting the <a href="C1.WPF.4~C1.WPF.C1TabControl~TabStripMenuVisibility.html">TabStripMenuVisibility</a> property to Visible. The tab menu enables users to open tab pages using a drop-down menu.</p> </blockquote> <ul> <li><strong>Customize the Header's Shape</strong></li> </ul> <blockquote style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" dir="ltr"> <p>You can modify the shape of the tab headers using the <a href="C1.WPF.4~C1.WPF.C1TabControl~TabItemShape.html">TabItemShape</a> property in the TabControl; select from Rounded, Rectangle, and Sloped. This is ideal for non-designer users; you don't need to change the template of the control to change the shape of the tab headers.</p> </blockquote> <ul> <li><strong>New Tab Item</strong></li> </ul> <blockquote style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" dir="ltr"> <p><strong>C1TabControl</strong> includes built-in support for the new tab item with a uniform look and feel with the rest of the tabs, just like Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.</p> </blockquote> <ul> <li><strong>Align Items in the Header</strong></li> </ul> <blockquote style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" dir="ltr"> <p>Define if the tab items are overlapped with the right-most in the back or the left-most in the back. The selected item is always on top.</p> </blockquote> <ul> <li><strong>Change the Background</strong></li> </ul> <blockquote style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" dir="ltr"> <p>Keeping the appearance of the tab, you can change its background. While this seems like a very simple feature, <strong>C1TabControl</strong> is the only tab control in the market that allows you to change the background without having to customize the full template.</p> </blockquote> <ul> <li><strong>Overlap Headers</strong></li> </ul> <blockquote style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" dir="ltr"> <p>Overlap between tab items headers can be customized to show jagged tabs, like the Documents tab in Microsoft Visual Studio.</p> </blockquote> <p> </p><!--DXMETADATA end--> <a name="seealsobookmark"></a> <!--DXMETADATA start type="FilteredItemList" scrap="CATEGORISED_LINKS" namespace="linkcategory" source="Item" filter="" NoHeader="True" NoFooter="True" format="%%replaceinquotes:value=false%%%%scrap:name=_COLLAPSIBLE_HEADER,idprefix=seealso,caption=""%%phrase:name=SeeAlso%%%%designlist:tagidentifier=seealso,itemtype=See Also%%""%%%%filtereditemlist%%</div>"--><div class="SectionHeading" id="seealsoSectionHeading"><span class="SectionHeadingIcon"><!-- --></span><span class="SectionHeadingText">See Also</span></div><div id="seealsoSectionContent" class="SectionContent"><div class="SeeAlsoLink"> <a href="TabControl Elements.html">TabControl Elements</a></div> </div><!--DXMETADATA end--> </div> <div id="FooterContent"> <!--DXMETADATA start type="Scrap" condition="communityenabled" name="_COMMUNITY_FOOTER" --><!--DXMETADATA end --> <!--DXMETADATA start type="Variable" name="CopyrightNotice" format="<p> </p><p> </p><hr style=""height: 1px"" /><p>%%variable%%</p>" --><p> </p><p> </p><hr style="height: 1px"><p>Copyright © <script type="text/javascript"> var theDate=new Date() document.write(theDate.getFullYear()) </script> GrapeCity, inc.
