TabControl for UWP allows you to create customized, rich applications. Make the most of TabControl for UWP by taking advantage of the following key features:

You can modify the shape of the tab headers using one of the four built-in shapes: Rounded, Rectangle, Ribbon and Sloped. Or use no shape outline for a clean, modern look.

Tabs can be positioned to the top, bottom, left or right. Just set the TabStripPlacement property.

The overlap between tab items headers can be customized to show jagged tabs, for example (like the Documents tab in Microsoft Visual Studio). Just set the TabStripOverlap property. Define if the tab items are overlapped with the right-most in the back or the left-most in the back using the TabStripOverlapDirection property. The selected item is always on top.

Control whether the user can close tabs and where to show the close button. Display the close button inside each tab item or in a global location outside the tab strip, just like Visual Studio does in its Documents tab.

You can show all the items in a menu (like the Documents tab in Visual Studio). This is useful when the items don't fit in the available space, so the end-user can quickly access all the elements.

If the tab items cannot fit in the current available space, the C1TabControl shows Next/Previous buttons just like Microsoft Internet Explorer.
