Hi,
I was looking at the MSDN documentation about tabs and came across this
page. It's actually a very informative page.
In the url below, it shows an example of how a vertical tab (ie: if you
have 8 or more tabs) should look. Is this screenshot actually a
"pagecontrol" component (in terms of Delphi or LCL) with tab alignment on
left - meaning that horizontal tabs (as we normally know them)
automatically become a listbox style when tab alignment is left or right?
Nope, this is not a tabcontrol.
Left/Right tabs are not supported by since XP-themes. There is nothing
automatic here.

I always thought vertical tabs under windows are just like horizontal tabs,
but turned on there side (even the text goes from top-to-bottom or
bottom-to-top). I much prefer the look as show in the screenshot, but not
sure if that is actually how vertical tabs automatically look in newer
Windows versions, or if they simply "simulated" a page control by using a
listbox and panel/frames.
It's a listbox and "frames" (or just hide&show controls)
