public enum TabOrientation

VB.NET

Public Enum TabOrientation

Members

Name	Description
Default	The default behavior determined by controls. For an XtraTabControl, the orientation of the tab headers depends upon the XtraTabControl.HeaderLocation property’s value. If the tab headers are located across the bottom or top of the tab control, they are horizontally oriented. Otherwise, if the tab headers are located along the left or right side of the tab control, they are vertically oriented. For a TabbedView in a DocumentManager, the Default option is equivalent to Horizontal.
Horizontal	The tab headers are horizontally oriented.
Vertical	The tab headers are vertically oriented.
