for a tabcontrol can you show the tab-cards on the bottom?

Howdy

for a tabcontrol, can you change the appearance of it so that the tab
headers display on the bottom rather than on the top? I am looking at the
properties of itand nothing jumps out at me.

Much obliged...

You can use the Alignment property.

Very interesting.

Such magic properties are very annoying because the only way to find out
about them is to read all the property documentation. This is not the normal
behaviour of alignment so I would never have thought to look.

It would be OK if MS had documented it in the TabControl documentation.

An even worse example is the magic values for ColumnHeader.Width which
doesn't even seem right when you know it.

Microsoft - please document this sort of thing properly in the class
documentation!
