Tabs

[Roy Riddex]

Is it possible to have a form with tabs at the top e.g. like the Display
Properties Menu within Windows?
How do I go about it?

Roy,

Press CTRL + T (or Project pulldown ---> Components) then select "Microsoft
Tabbed Dialog Control 6.0 (SP5).

You now have a tabbed control that you can add to your form(s).

I wrote a free program for Kite Flier Conversions that uses this tabbed
control - you can download it at:

Re: Tabs

Press CTRL + T (or Project pulldown ---> Components) then add the "Microsoft
Common Controls", then in the project add a tabstrip control.

I don't like the MS Tab control
- also I dislike distributing OCXes

- so I 'simulate' the TabStrip

Windows is just one big simulation anyway
