From the author
Expert skill for the DevExpress WinForms XtraTabControl (DevExpress.XtraTab, DevExpress.Win.Navigation NuGet). Build tabbed UIs that organize controls into pages — add/remove XtraTabPage pages via the TabPages collection, populate pages, position and orient headers (HeaderLocation, HeaderOrientation), wrap headers into rows (MultiLine), show Prev/Next/Close header buttons (HeaderButtons) and per-page Close buttons (ClosePageButtonShowMode), respond to selection (SelectedPageChanged/SelectedPageChanging) and close (CloseButtonClick) events, hide headers for wizard-style navigation (ShowTabHeader), add header icons (XtraTabPage.ImageOptions), and add custom header buttons (CustomHeaderButtons). Use when a user asks about WinForms tab control, tabbed pages, XtraTabControl, XtraTabPage, tab headers, closable tabs, tab navigation, or organizing controls into pages on a form. For MDI/document interfaces use DocumentManager or XtraTabbedMdiManager instead.
