You can control the overlap of tabs by setting the TabStripOverlap property and the TabStripOverlapDirection property (for task-based help, see Overlapping Tabs on a Tabstrip). The TabStripOverlap property controls how many pixels of the tab overlap, and the TabStripOverlapDirection direction property allows you to select an enumeration value that sets the direction of the overlap. The TabStripOverlapDirection property has three enumeration values – Right, Left, and RightLeftFromSelected – which are described and illustrated in the table below. Please note that the TabStripOverlap property for each of the following examples has been set to a value of 10.
Enumeration Value | Description | Illustration |
Right | The rightmost tabs are in the back while the selected tab is in the front. |
|
Left | The leftmost tabs are in the back while the selected tab is in the front. |
|
RightLeftFromSelected | Leftmost tabs are in the back, rightmost tabs are in the back, and the selected tab is in the front. |
