**UP**

**DOWN**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

The **UP** and **DOWN **attributes of a SHEET control specify the orientation of the text on the TAB controls. UP (PROP:UP) specifies the TAB text appears vertical reading upwards, while DOWN (PROP:DOWN) specifies the TAB text appears vertical reading downwards. If both UP and DOWN attributes are present, the TAB text appears inverted (PROP:UpsideDown).

**Example:**

**MDIChild WINDOW('Child One'),AT(0,0,320,200),MDI,MAX,HVSCROLL**

**          SHEET,AT(0,0,320,175),USE(SelectedTab),RIGHT,****DOWN****  !Tabs right reading down**
