Interface ITabRenderer

The interface to implement when you create custom tab styles (tab renderers).

Inherited Members

System.IDisposable.Dispose()

Namespace: Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools

Assembly: Syncfusion.Tools.Windows.dll

Syntax

public interface ITabRenderer : IDisposable

Remarks

Use the default TabRendererBase implementation when you want to create custom tab renderers. See TabRendererFactory for information on how to register your custom renderer with the framework and other requirements.

Note that your implementation should have a non-default constructor that takes the following 2 parameters: (ITabControl and ITabPanelRenderer).
