Calculating Tab Width in TabControl (Windows Forms)

Question

I searched everywhere and it overheard me because it seems like I'm the only one who asked about this before. How do you calculate tab width in Windows Forms TabControl ?

Each tab that opens or is created in my application will have a variable length, and the font size and font used on these tabs may also change at runtime.

Answer 1

I managed to solve this problem myself by looking at intellisense a bit more. The TabControl.GetTabRect() method returns the rectangle for the tab:

 Rectangle rect = this.tabControl1.GetTabRect(tabControl1.SelectedIndex); MessageBox.Show(rect.Width.ToString()); 

Answer 2

You can get it using the ItemSize TabControl Property.

If you want to have the same width for all tabs, use the following:

 this.tabControl1.SizeMode = TabSizeMode.Fixed;
