Setting Tab Scroll Button in WPF TabControl (TabControlExt)

Tab Scroll button visibility is controlled by using the TabScrollButtonVisibility property of the TabControlExt control. This is a dependency property which provides the following options to control the visibility of the Scroll button.

• Hidden–Scroll button is hidden
• Visible–Scroll button is displayed
• Auto–Scroll button is displayed automatically, if needed

Here is the code snippet to set the Tab Scroll Button Visibility as “Visible”.

xaml

<!-- Adding TabcontrolExt -->

<syncfusion:TabControlExt Name="tabControlExt" TabScrollButtonVisibility="Visible">



    <!-- Adding TabItemExt -->

    <syncfusion:TabItemExt Name="tabItemExt1" Header="TabItemExt1">

    </syncfusion:TabItemExt>



    <!-- Adding TabItemExt -->

    <syncfusion:TabItemExt Name="tabItemExt2" Header="TabItemExt2" >

    </syncfusion:TabItemExt>

</syncfusion:TabControlExt>

c#

// Creating instance of the TabControlExt control

TabControlExt tabControlExt = new TabControlExt();



//Creating the instance of StackPanel

StackPanel stackPanel = new StackPanel();



//Creating instance of the TabItemExt 

TabItemExt tabItemExt1 = new TabItemExt();



// Setting header of the TabItemExt

tabItemExt1.Header = "TabItemExt1";



//Adding TabItemExt to TabControlExt

tabControlExt.Items.Add(tabItemExt1);            



// Changing the Visibility of Scroll button 

tabControlExt.TabScrollButtonVisibility = TabScrollButtonVisibility.Visible;



//Adding control to the StackPanel

stackPanel.Children.Add(tabControlExt);
