C# .NET - Auto adjusting the tab size in a tabControl for C# 4.0

Asked By Brad on 04-Dec-10 01:29 PM
I am currently having a problem figuring out how to cause the tabs to size to take up the entire side of the tabControl.  I tried setting size mode to FillToRight but that didn't work.  The only thing I can think to do is to go in and play around with the sizes of the tabs until I get it right but I know there has to be a better way to go about it than that.  I would really appreciate any help I can get in this matter.

Hi Brad:

gee, that's weird, because the behavior you would like is actually the default behavior, to my knowledge...

Best wishes,
Rolf

If you've inherited from TabControl, then the length of the tab automatically sizes depending upon the length of the associated Tabpages Text property. So the answer would be to set the tabpages text property to the desired string. I am not aware of a way to set the size of individual tab items. You can however, set the size of all tabitems by setting the Tabcontrols SizeMode property to Fixed and then setting the TabControls ItemSize property.

Thanks for your help everyone. Annop S, the Fixed SizeMode is what I was looking for.  I had found a description for it a while back but never implemented it in my program thinking when I was ready I could find the description but was unable to.  I had mistaken what it does thinking that it caused the tabs to take up the whole side of the tabControl but realize now that it was me misreading the explanation.  Thanks again for you help.
