# Tab Orientation Get started with Menus and Toolbars for WinForms. Create versatile menus and docking/floating toolbars. See more in documentation here. ## Content **C1DockingTab** provides various options for the tab orientation. The tabs can be aligned to the top, bottom, left, or right of the **C1DockingTab** control by using the [Alignment](/componentone/docs/win/online-menus-toolbar/) property. The following image displays the tabs aligned at the top of the [C1DockingTab](/componentone/docs/win/online-menus-toolbar/).

For example the following image depicts the tabs indented to 30 pixels.
