Hello ali,
If you want to do this from the designer, please take a look at the attached screenshot for the necessary steps.
If you prefer doing it from code, please take a look at the following sample:
Hope this helps, if you have any other questions or comments, please let me know,

private
void
SetTextAlignment(ToolTabStrip toolTabStrip, System.Drawing.ContentAlignment alignment)
{
var dockLayout = toolTabStrip.SplitPanelElement.Children[2]
as
DockLayoutPanel;
var captionElement = dockLayout.Children[0]
as
ToolWindowCaptionElement;
dockLayout = captionElement.Children[2]
as
DockLayoutPanel;
var textPrimitive = dockLayout.Children[3]
as
TextPrimitive;
textPrimitive.TextAlignment = alignment;
}
Hope this helps, if you have any other questions or comments, please let me know,

Hi Guys,
There is an issue with the code here. It will be fine when initially seen, but if you try to drag the ToolWindow to a different position then the Text Alignment will reset back to the original value. I'd suggest a slightly different approach which will work for all dock positions (apart from floating).
Please consider the following
designer
Form1.cs
I will also look at at floating state, and if I can address your question regarding the image. In the meantime, please let me know if you have any questions
