[suggestion] Vertical tabs

Post by *[Yustas.NeO] »

I'm sorry if it's already been asked...

When many tabs are open, they are placed in few rows. In most cases, this is not as convenient, and confuses, for example, when tabs are jumping from place to place, when switching between them.
Meanwhile, there is a lot of empty space in the file list (in my case, between the filename and the extension).

Hence the question: how about implementing vertical tabs (they may also look like ordinary buttons) ?
I beg pardon for bad English.

i have work with TCS_VERTICAL in my TabControl but have a lot of Problem with some Font so it look bad.

TC work with TCS_SINGLELINE so you get Button on right side when to many Tab
TabControl can also use TCS_MULTILINE but this will reduce space for "TMyListbox"

but how it look like when have 1 Tab Line left and 3 Tab Line right ... :shock:

Yes, we have either different height of files-list or some tabs are hidden.

If you really want groups of vertical-aligned activators (my tongue refuse to call them Tabs in this context) of files panels, i would suggest to implement tree style (with folding branches) of activators.

Yes, because with grouped Tabs we can also save a lot of space.
