.NET Framework Class Library
VisualStyleElement..::.Tab..::.TabItemLeftEdge Class

Provides VisualStyleElement objects for each state of a tab control that shares its top and right borders with other tab controls. This class cannot be inherited.

Namespace:  System.Windows.Forms.VisualStyles
Assembly:  System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public NotInheritable Class TabItemLeftEdge
Visual Basic (Usage)
You do not need to declare an instance of a static class in order to access its members.
C#
public static class TabItemLeftEdge
Visual C++
public ref class TabItemLeftEdge abstract sealed
JScript
public final class TabItemLeftEdge

Each property of the VisualStyleElement..::.Tab..::.TabItemLeftEdge class returns a VisualStyleElement for a different state of a tab control that shares its top and right borders with other tab controls.

Windows XP Home Edition, Windows XP Professional x64 Edition, Windows Server 2003 Platform Note: Visual styles are supported only on these platforms.

The following code example demonstrates how to create a VisualStyleRenderer with the VisualStyleElement returned by the Normal property. To run this example, paste it into a Windows Form. Handle the form’s Paint event and call the DrawVisualStyleElementTabTabItemLeftEdge1 method from the Paint event-handling method, passing e as PaintEventArgs.

Visual Basic
Public Sub DrawVisualStyleElementTabTabItemLeftEdge1(ByVal e As PaintEventArgs)
    If (VisualStyleRenderer.IsElementDefined( _
     VisualStyleElement.Tab.TabItemLeftEdge.Normal)) Then
        Dim renderer As New VisualStyleRenderer _
          (VisualStyleElement.Tab.TabItemLeftEdge.Normal)
        Dim rectangle1 As New Rectangle(10, 50, 50, 50)
        renderer.DrawBackground(e.Graphics, rectangle1)
        e.Graphics.DrawString("VisualStyleElement.Tab.TabItemLeftEdge.Normal", _
          Me.Font, Brushes.Black, New Point(10, 10))
    Else
        e.Graphics.DrawString("This element is not defined in the current visual style.", _
          Me.Font, Brushes.Black, New Point(10, 10))
    End If
End Sub
C#
public void DrawVisualStyleElementTabTabItemLeftEdge1(PaintEventArgs e)
{
    if (VisualStyleRenderer.IsElementDefined(
        VisualStyleElement.Tab.TabItemLeftEdge.Normal))
    {
        VisualStyleRenderer renderer =
             new VisualStyleRenderer(VisualStyleElement.Tab.TabItemLeftEdge.Normal);
        Rectangle rectangle1 = new Rectangle(10, 50, 50, 50);
        renderer.DrawBackground(e.Graphics, rectangle1);
        e.Graphics.DrawString("VisualStyleElement.Tab.TabItemLeftEdge.Normal",
             this.Font, Brushes.Black, new Point(10, 10));
    }
    else
        e.Graphics.DrawString("This element is not defined in the current visual style.",
             this.Font, Brushes.Black, new Point(10, 10));
}
