Component serves for creating a set of tabs. Each tab represents a separate page which can be displayed in IFrame or div Panel. Tab design setting are available. A tab can be text or a picture. Selected tab can be changed through PostBack.

 

Control's tabs align styles (TabAlign property): left, right, justify. Control's tabs orientation (TabOrientation property): top, bottom, left and right.

With TabControl you can build not only horizontal tab text, but also vertical (TabTextOrientation property). Please, bear in mind that vertical text is defined in the CSS 2 standard, currently supported by IE 5.5+ only. A feasible workaround for vertical text is to use image-based Tabs.
