# Step 3: Customizing the Control

## Content



In the last step, you added three customized tab pages to the [C1TabControl](/componentone/api/wpf/online-tabcontrol5/dotnet-api/C1.WPF.TabControl/C1.WPF.TabControl.C1TabControl.html). In this step, you'll customize the **C1TabControl** by setting several of its properties.

Complete the following steps:

1.  Select the **C1TabControl**.
2.  In the Properties window, set the following properties:

*   Set the **Height** property to "200".
*   Set the **Width** property to "300".
*   Set the **TabItemClose** property to **InEachTab**. This will add close buttons to each tab except to the third tab, which you specified shouldn't be allowed to close in the last step of the quick start.
*   Set the **TabItemShape** property to **Sloped**. This will change the shape of the tab items so that they resemble tabs on an office folder.
*   Set the **TabStripMenuVisibility** property to **Visible**.
*   Set the **TabStripPlacement** property to **Bottom**. This will place the tabstrip at the bottom of the control.

You have completed step 3 of 4 by customizing the features of the **C1TabControl** control. In the next step, you will run the program and observe what you've accomplished during this quick start.
