Hello,

I'd like to use a TabControl (2.0) in a program I'm making. I'd like
the tabs to appear on the left hand side, running down the length of the
control. The only way that I can see of getting the tabs on the left is to
change the 'Alignment' property to "Left", but this causes the tabs to
appear sideways, and when new tabs are created they appear to the right of
the existing tabs. Is this normal behaviour? Is it possible to get the
layout I want using this control? Thanks in advance.

Yes, that's the normal behaviour.

To get the appearance you're after you will have to use FixedSize tabs and
owner draw them so that text does not rotate.
