The tabsLines property controls whether the tabs of a Folder control are displayed in multiple or single lines and whether simulated edges of the sheets are displayed.
The values for this property are listed in the following table.
| Folder Class Control | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| TabsLines_MultiLineEdged | 0 | If required, each displaying a simulated stack of sheet edges (the default). This setting ignores the value of the tabsRaggedRight property, treating it as though it was set to false. |
| TabsLines_MultiLine | 1 | Multiple tab lines that do not display a simulated stack of sheet edges. |
| TabsLines_SingleLine | 2 | If the tabs cannot be fitted into one line, scroll arrows are displayed that can be clicked to scroll the appropriate tab entry into view. |
If the tabsStyle property is set to TabsStyle_Buttons (1) or to TabsStyle_RightSloped (2), a tabsLines property setting of TabsLines_MultiLineEdged (0) is treated as if it were set to TabsLines_MultiLine (1); that is, multiple lines with no simulated sheet edges are displayed.
For the TabsStyle_RightSloped (2) setting, TabsLines_MultiLineEdged (0) draws the second rows increasingly offset from the left and there is no multiple-edged drawing of the sheets themselves.
If the resulting tab area uses more than half of the area of the folder, the tabs are automatically drawn in the TabsLines_SingleLine (2) mode.
