ShowButtonSeparators Property (MdiTabGroupSettings)

Returns or sets whether separators will be displayed between button style tabs.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Property ShowButtonSeparators As Infragistics.Win.DefaultableBoolean
public Infragistics.Win.DefaultableBoolean ShowButtonSeparators {get; set;}
Remarks

When the TabStyle is resolved to StateButtons, the tabs are displayed as state buttons where the selected tab is in the pressed state. By default, there is some space between the state button tabs which can be controlled using the InterTabSpacing. As long as there are a few pixels of space between the state button tabs, a perpendicular line separating the tabs will be displayed when this property is set to true (the default value). This can be helpful when the TabButtonStyle is set to a value that displays the unselected tabs as border less state buttons.

Example
The following example demonstrates how to set the various MdiTabGroupSetting properties that relate to StateButton style tabs.

Imports Infragistics.Win
Imports Infragistics.Win.UltraWinTabs
Imports Infragistics.Win.UltraWinTabbedMdi

Private Sub InitializeStateButtonTabGroup(ByVal tabGroup As MdiTabGroup)
    ' display the tabs as state buttons
    tabGroup.Settings.TabStyle = TabStyle.StateButtons

    ' display a separator bar between the state buttons
    tabGroup.Settings.ShowButtonSeparators = DefaultableBoolean.True

    ' leave 9 pixels of space between the state button tabs
    tabGroup.Settings.InterTabSpacing = New DefaultableInteger(9)

    ' use office xp style buttons for the close and scroll buttons
    tabGroup.Settings.ButtonStyle = UIElementButtonStyle.OfficeXPToolbarButton

    ' use the xp style chevron arrow for the scroll buttons
    tabGroup.Settings.ScrollArrowStyle = ScrollArrowStyle.WindowsXP

    ' only show the scroll buttons when needed
    tabGroup.Settings.ScrollButtons = DefaultableTabScrollButtons.Automatic

    ' show the next/previous and next page/ previous page buttons
    ' and scroll track/thumb when scroll buttons are displayed
    tabGroup.Settings.ScrollButtonTypes = ScrollButtonTypes.NextPagePreviousPage Or _
        ScrollButtonTypes.NextPrevious Or ScrollButtonTypes.Thumb

    ' when the scroll track is displayed, it should be no less than 40 pixels
    tabGroup.Settings.ScrollTrackExtent = 40
End Sub
using Infragistics.Win;
using Infragistics.Win.UltraWinTabs;
using Infragistics.Win.UltraWinTabbedMdi;

private void InitializeStateButtonTabGroup( MdiTabGroup tabGroup )
{
	// display the tabs as state buttons
	tabGroup.Settings.TabStyle = TabStyle.StateButtons;

	// display a separator bar between the state buttons
	tabGroup.Settings.ShowButtonSeparators = DefaultableBoolean.True;

	// leave 9 pixels of space between the state button tabs
	tabGroup.Settings.InterTabSpacing = new DefaultableInteger(9);

	// use office xp style buttons for the close and scroll buttons
	tabGroup.Settings.ButtonStyle = UIElementButtonStyle.OfficeXPToolbarButton;

	// use the xp style chevron arrow for the scroll buttons
	tabGroup.Settings.ScrollArrowStyle = ScrollArrowStyle.WindowsXP;

	// only show the scroll buttons when needed
	tabGroup.Settings.ScrollButtons = DefaultableTabScrollButtons.Automatic;

	// show the next/previous and next page/ previous page buttons
	// and scroll track/thumb when scroll buttons are displayed
	tabGroup.Settings.ScrollButtonTypes = ScrollButtonTypes.NextPagePreviousPage | 
		ScrollButtonTypes.NextPrevious |
		ScrollButtonTypes.Thumb;

	// when the scroll track is displayed, it should be no less than 40 pixels
	tabGroup.Settings.ScrollTrackExtent = 40;
