tabControlExt rendering

[Sebastien Astie]

Hi,

I have a tabcontrolExt in my form, Alignment=Left and RotateTextWhenVertical=true.

Right now my tabs are rendered vertically for the top towards the bottom, leaving an empty space in the bootm left corner of the screen.

I would like to know if there is a way to render those tabs so that the empty space is not in the bottom left corner but in the top left corner.

This is what I have :

Sebastien,

This is not possible in the current version of Essential Tools. We will be working on implementing RTL (Right To Left) support after the 2.0 release. Then it will be possible to do what you are looking for.

Thanks Arun,

I found a solution in you FAQ, what I wanted was just an offset. I used the method described at :
http://www.syncfusion.com/KB/Tools/Tools_c31c.asp#q565q

But now I would like to know if there is any way I can get the result of the offset at design time; so that I don't have to run my app in debug mode to find the proper offset.

Thanks
Sebastien

Sebastien,

No there is no way to control or adjust the offset at design time as we can get a handle to the Renderer only at run time.

Arun
