>assuming having a pageframe with 4 tabOrientation property(0,1,2,3),can solve this problem with many methods:
>
>-make all pageframe pages(i).caption="" &&empty
>
>1-method1
>-add to form commandbuttons( support image+pictureposition and caption text)-use specialEffect=2
>-place the commandbuttons exactly as pageframe tabs.(no need to make property pageframe.tabs=.f.)
>-vertically can play with commandbutton.caption: add chr(13) after each character and you have it in vertically style as you asked.
>
>2-method2
>use labels instead (no image).can play with rotation property to set the pageframe.page.caption in any position between 0-360 degrees.
>thisform.label1.rotation=65 && degrees or adjust it 0-360
>
>3-method3
>use images drawn as vertical style to replace the pageframe.page.caption
>
>4-method4
>use a class container with image+label grouping the previous methods
