Question

Hello so I have a customized vertical tab using the drawitem. However I can’t put something in the tab control strip. I want to put a calender there so that I can utilize the free space however the tab-control doesn’t let me do that. Is there a possible way of doing that thing?

The simplest way is to not add it to the Tab Control. Just add the control to the form, but make sure it sits on top of the Tab Control:

Simple example:

MonthCalendar mc1 = new MonthCalendar();
this.Controls.Add(mc1);
mc1.Location = new Point(0, this.ClientSize.Height - mc1.Height);
mc1.Anchor = AnchorStyles.Left | AnchorStyles.Bottom;
mc1.BringToFront();
