Possible to add some left-side offset to tab header in XtraTabControl?

created 7 years ago

Please see the attached image.

I've customized a DX WinForms skin to make a somewhat "lighter" XtraTabControl with less lines.

The last thing I'm currently trying to work on is that I want the very first tab to not start at X position 0 but with some configurable offset.

I've already derived my own class from XtraTabControl by I'm unable to find any (nested) properties/classes to define such an offset.

My question:

How can I specify an offset for the very first tab in an XtraTabControl header?

Hello Uwe,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

The indent between the left border and the first tab is controlled by a currently applied skin. You can change the indent by using the following code snippet:

C#
Skin tabSkin = TabSkins.GetSkin(UserLookAndFeel.Default.ActiveLookAndFeel);  
tabSkin.Properties[TabSkinProperties.RowIndentNear] = 10;

Place the snippet before the InitializeComponent method to achieve your goal.

Regards,
Alisher

      Thanks a lot, Alisher!

      Awesome, that works as expected!

      (I've put the code in the c'tor of my XtraTabControl-derived class)
