Calculate size of each tabpage

How can I calculate the size of each tabpage. If for example I have 4 tabpages I would like these to be spread accross equally.

If one more tab is added = 5 tabpages the code should be able to take care of that too.

I hope anybody can help.

Hi,
You need to calculate your formwidth divde by your no tabpage width.
like your form width=400/no of tabs so each tabpage width is 100.
i hope it will help you

Do you mean the size of the tabs (ie tab page header) or the tab page? I ask because by default the tab pages would typically fill the tab control.

If you mean the tabs (page header) then the two important properties to look at are the ItemSize and the SizeMode.

1. Calculate the required width = tabcontrol.width/number of tabs

2. Set SizeMode to Fixed

3. Set ItemSize = new ItemSize(width/current itemSize.Height)

Hope that helps.
