Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Property TabSizing As Infragistics.Win.UltraWinTabs.TabSizing
public Infragistics.Win.UltraWinTabs.TabSizing TabSizing {get; set;}
Remarks

TabSizing determines how the size of the tab items are calculated.

AutoSize The tab size is based on the size required to show the image and text.
Fixed The tab size is based on the TabWidth if resolved to a value, otherwise the AutoSize value is used.
Justified This sizing mode only affects the tabs when there is not enough room to display all the tab items. Each tab item's size is reduced so that all the tab items are in view.
SizeToFit Increases or decreases the size of the tab so that they occupy the entire available area.
Compress The non selected tabs are sized to just enough space to display the associated image. The selected tab is sized based on the largest image and text area.
TabsPerRow The size of each tab is a percentage of the available area based on the TabsPerRow setting.
Example
The following examples demonstrates how to set various MdiTabSettings and MdiTabGroupSettings properties which will serve as the default values for the MdiTabGroups and MdiTab objects managed by the UltraTabbedMdiManager component.
