A tabbed layout group (tabbed group for short) represents a layout group whose immediate child elements are associated with individual tabs, as in a Tab Control. Clicking a tab displays a corresponding child element within the tabbed group. To programmatically activate a certain tab, use a tabbed group's Item Index property. If any tab is focused in a tabbed group, end-users can switch tabs by pressing [Ctrl-Tab] or [Ctrl-Shift-Tab].

 

Any group can be switched to a tabbed group and back, via the group's Layout Direction property.
