When Scroll Opposite is True, previous rows of tabs are moved to the bottom of the tab control if Tab Position is Top, or to the top if Tab Position is Bottom. When Scroll Opposite is False, previous rows of tabs are moved to the back of all other rows of tabs. Multiline Wraps page tabs if they exceed the width of the object Note: Setting ScrollOpposite to True automatically sets the Multiline property to True.

Scroll Opposite Example With a tab control with three rows of tabs at the top, if the user selects a tab in the second row, Scroll Opposite determines where the first row moves. If Scroll Opposite is True, the second row now appears at the front (bottom) row on top of the tab control, followed by the third row behind (above) it. The first row moves to the bottom of the tab control. If ScrollOpposite is False, the first row moves to the back (top), so that the tab control displays the second row in front (at the bottom of the tab region), followed by the third row (now in the middle), followed by the first row.
