Property Value

Type	Default	Description
DefaultBoolean	Default	A DefaultBoolean enumerator value that specifies whether or not documents within this TabbedView can be grouped into DocumentGroups without limitations.

Available values:

Name	Description
True	true. DefaultBoolean.True has a constant value of 0, while the standard true value corresponds to a value of 1. In Visual Basic, do not use implicit conversion of Boolean values to DefaultBoolean, and vice versa, as the conversion may produce incorrect results.
False	false. DefaultBoolean.False has a constant value of 1, while the standard false value corresponds to a value of 0. In Visual Basic, do not use implicit conversion of Boolean values to DefaultBoolean, and vice versa, as the conversion may produce incorrect results.
Default	The default behavior determined by the control’s logic.

Remarks

By default, end-users can group TabbedView documents to document groups arranged in only one direction: side-by-side or one below another (this direction is managed by the TabbedView.Orientation property value). If the EnableFreeLayoutMode property is set to DefaultBoolean.True, you and your end-users will be able to mix horizontally and vertically oriented groups.

See the Free Layout Mode section of the Tabbed View article to learn more.
