Re: Multi-line Tab control?

Is it possible to put the tabs of a tab control onto multiple rows of tabs, instead of them all in one (and in my case, very long) straight line?

I need to have 12 tabs, and even using the small font, it takes over 700 pixels to display them all. And since this isn't the only large-ish control in the window, it simply is just too big.

And, no, there really is no way to break up the tabs into different windows, logically.

Short of re-implementing the tab control yourself (like MS did) you can't have multiple lines of tabs in a tab control. Perhaps you should use another paging type control? Popup Menu Group Boxes and preference pane listings are common when there are a lot of preferences to be dealt with. Examples include Acrobat Reader (for the preference list) and the Print Dialog box (for the popup group box).

Good Luck and HTH
