Tab Control Styles (Windows CE 5.0)
The following table shows the styles that are supported by Windows CE.
| Tab control style | Description |
|---|---|
| TCS_BOTTOM | Displays the tabs at the bottom of the control. If the TCS_VERTICAL style is also specified, this style is interpreted as TCS_RIGHT. |
| TCS_BUTTONS | Displays all tabs as buttons with no border drawn around the display area. |
| TCS_EX_FLATSEPARATORS | Indicates that the tab control will draw separators between the tab items. This extended style only affects tab controls that have the TCS_BUTTONS and TCS_FLATBUTTONS styles. By default, creating the tab control with the TCS_BUTTONS style or with the TCS_FLATBUTTONS style sets this extended style. If you do not require separators, you should remove this extended style after creating the control. |
| TCS_FIXEDWIDTH | Specifies that all tabs are the same width. You cannot combine this style with the TCS_RIGHTJUSTIFY style. |
| TCS_FLATBUTTONS | Changes the appearance of a selected tab to indented while other tabs appear to be on the same plane as the background. This style only applies to tab controls that have the TCS_BUTTONS style. |
| TCS_FOCUSNEVER | Creates a tab control that never receives the input focus. |
| TCS_FOCUSONBUTTONDOWN | Specifies that a given tab, when selected, receives the input focus. |
| TCS_FORCEICONLEFT | Aligns an icon with the left edge of a fixed-width tab. This style can only be used with the TCS_FIXEDWIDTH style. |
| TCS_FORCELABELLEFT | Aligns a label with the left edge of a fixed-width tab; that is, it displays the label immediately to the right of the icon instead of centering it. This style can only be used with the TCS_FIXEDWIDTH style, and it implies the TCS_FORCEICONLEFT style. |
| TCS_MULTILINE | Displays multiple rows of tabs, if necessary, so that all tabs are visible at once. |
| TCS_MULTISELECT | Specifies that multiple tabs can be selected by holding down CTRL when selecting a tab. This style only applies to tabs that have the TCS_BUTTONS style. |
| TCS_OWNERDRAWFIXED | Specifies that the parent window is responsible for drawing tabs. |
| TCS_RAGGEDRIGHT | Leaves a ragged right edge by not stretching a row of tabs to fill the entire width of the control. This style is the default. |
| TCS_RIGHT | Displays multiple tabs vertically on the right side of controls that use the TCS_VERTICAL style. If the TCS_VERTICAL style is not specified, this style is interpreted as TCS_BOTTOM. |
| TCS_RIGHTJUSTIFY | Increases the width of each tab, if necessary, so that each row of tabs fills the entire width of the tab control. This style is valid only when it is used with the TCS_MULTILINE style. |
| TCS_SCROLLOPPOSITE | Specifies that unused tabs move to the opposite side of the control when a new tab is selected. |
| TCS_SINGLELINE | Displays only one row of tabs. The user can scroll to see more tabs, if necessary. This style is the default. |
| TCS_VERTICAL | Displays multiple tabs vertically on the left side of the control. This style is valid only when it is used with the TCS_MULTILINE style. To make tabs appear on the right side of the control, combine this style with the TCS_RIGHT style. |
