dll from non commercial sources (DUMB)
 
You did look at the tabcontrol's properties right? It's usually
helpful to read the brief description of what the controls do.
is there a way to get tabs on the bottom of a tab cotrol (or side?).
Click to expand...

Alignment property of the tabcontrol. (change to bottom, left, or
right)
Is there a way to get the tab to automatically resize to the full
length of the tab control especailly on resizing
Click to expand...

SizeMode property of the tabcontrol (change to Fixed)
Then use a little math and set the ItemSize property to the
appropriate values.

Thanks,

Set the Alignment property. You will however, run into problems with Visual
Styles which will require you to render the control yourself in order to
fix. If using one of the Button Appearances you will need to adjust the
DisplayRectangle in order to get the TabPages to fit properly.

The FillToRight property should do this, but it only seems to work if you
have more than one row of tabs.
You can set SizeMode to Fixed and then alter the ItemSize to set the desired
tab size.

TabControlEx is just a System.Windows.Forms.TabControl behind the scenes and
so probably wouldn't help you out too much anyway. The FillToRight property
would behave in exactly the same way. Of course, you wouldn't have a problem
with VisualStyles or the DisplayRectangle, but to be quite honest, these are
not too difficult to fix in VS2005 with a little help from the new
VisualStyleRenderer class.
