[RESOLVED] Some question about TabControl

[motil]

A) can i set the minimum width of a new created tab ?
B) can i replace the default tab shape with an image ?
C) is there a simple why to drag tabs to change their orders in the tab list like most modern application do or i have to code it ?

A - I dont think so, not in Winforms but very easy in WPF
B - Possibly if there is an OwnerDraw property of the tab header but again very easy in WPF
C - Pretty sure you have to code it yourself

In a regular TabControl, all answers are no.

I have provided a codebank submission for the third question though. I already told you about it in the contextmenustrip thread (it's the same control). There's a TabControl that allows you to drag the tabs around.

We have a WPF section on these forums - http://www.vbforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=86
Specifically there is a thread in there at the top titled WPF, WCF and WF Tutorials which should help you out
and also this one that gives you a summary of what WPF is: http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=570937
