Proposal: Placement of a TabView

Proposal: Placement of a TabView

Summary

It could be useful to be able to choose the placement of the TabView (Top, Bottom, Left or Right)

Rationale

• To be able to act a TabView like a TabControl in WPF, we need to be able to choose the placement of the TabView like Top, Bottom, Left or Right

Scope

Capability	Priority
TabViewPlacement.Left	Must
TabViewPlacement.Right	Must
TabViewPlacement.Top	Must
TabViewPlacement.Bottom	Must

Important Notes

public enum TabViewPlacement { Top, Bottom, Left, Right }

public static DependencyProperty TabViewPlacementProperty {get;} = DependencyProperty.Register(
nameof(TabViewPlacement),
typeof(TabViewPlacement),
typeof(TabView),
new PropertyMetadata(TabViewPlacement.Top));

public TabViewPlacement TabViewPlacement 
{
    get => (TabViewPlacement)GetValue(TabViewPlacementProperty);
    set=>SetValue(TabViewPlacementProperty, value);
}

Open Questions

Often times Tool Palettes will use bottom placed tabs.

Not including it when you also have Top, Left and Right placements, seems a bit silly though, just looking at it.

Can this proposal be merged with the other one? #2194

Rotated left or right tab view would work perfectly for apps such as One Note.
