SYMPTOMS
When setting the Placement property of the TabStrip control to any setting other then 0-tabPlacmentTop, the MultiRow property will always be True. You can only set the MultiRow property to False if the Placement property is set to 0-tabPlacmentTop.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
When you set the TabStrip control's Placement property to any value other then 0-tabPlacmentTop, the MultiRow property will change to True. If you have the Placement property set to a value other then 0-tabPlacmentTop and you then change the MultiRow property to False, the Placement property will reset to 0-tabPlacmentTop.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
 Create a new Standard EXE project in Visual Basic. Form1 is created by default. From the Project menu, select Components, check "Microsoft Windows Common Controls 6.0," and then click OK. Add a TabStrip Control and two CommandButtons to Form1.  Add the following to the code window of Form1: Private Sub Command1_Click TabStrip1.Placement = tabPlacementLeft Debug.Print "Tab placement is", TabStrip1.Placement Debug.Print "Tab MultiRow is", TabStrip1.MultiRow End Sub

Private Sub Command2_Click TabStrip1.MultiRow = False Debug.Print "Tab placement is", TabStrip1.Placement Debug.Print "Tab MultiRow is", TabStrip1.MultiRow End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load Dim i As Integer ' add some tabs TabStrip1.Tabs.Add TabStrip1.Tabs.Add ' place some long captions on the tabs For i = 1 To TabStrip1.Tabs.Count TabStrip1.Tabs(i).Caption = "This is a long caption number " _ & Str(i) Next i       ' set the tabs to be on top and MultiLine to False TabStrip1.Placement = tabPlacementTop TabStrip1.MultiRow = False Command1.Caption = "Change Placement" Command2.Caption = "Change MultiRow" End Sub  Save and run the Project. Click on the Change Placement button. You will see the tab placement on the left but you will see more then one row of tabs. Click on Change MultiRow and you will see that the tab placement goes back to the top, but you only have one line of tabs.
