2.11.4 Virtual Tab Folder Properties

The four virtual tab folders (left, right, top and bottom) have individual properties that control their appearance and behavior. In other words, the virtual tab folders can be different from each other and the actual tab folder control.

In this example the tab framework has a left and bottom virtual tab folder in addition to the actual tab folder control:
