Infragistics2.Win.UltraWinTabControl.v8.1
FixedWidth Property
See Also  Example
Infragistics.Win.UltraWinTabControl Namespace > UltraTab Class : FixedWidth Property

Returns/sets the fixed logical width of the tab.

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Public Property FixedWidth As Integer
C# 
public int FixedWidth {get; set;}

Remarks

The default value of zero means that the width will be calculated based on the UltraTabControlBase.TabLayoutStyle property setting.

This governs the logical width/extent of the tab (e.g. in vertical UltraTabControlBase.TabOrientations this refers to the height of the tab).

Example

The following sample code illustrates how to add tabs.
