Pinned Tabs
Updated on May 7, 2026
The tabs can be pinned to the left or right. This will freeze them and they will be always visible. The tabs can be pinned from the context menu or by using the pin button.
The left or right position of the pinned tabs is controlled by the RadTabbedFormControl.PinnedItemsPosition property.
