Control tab? VB6
Hi, i'm following a guide which repeatly telling me that i need to mark the control tab from component window, but i cant find it.
This is what it's says!
1. Create a new standard Visual Basic project.
2. Select the Project|Components item.
3. Click the Controls tab in the Components dialog box.

You can find the Tab control under the Components list in the group Microsoft Windows Common Controls 6.0 (SP6). Check that one and the toolbox will then display the Tab control, Progress Bar, etc. after you apply it.
Is that what you are trying to add--the Tab control to your App?

Re: Control tab? VB6
Edgemeal, is it possible that there is a difference between a "control tab" as the OP discusses and a "Tab control" or a "Tab Strip contol" that we are steering him towards?
The English language has always fascinated me.

Well "Microsoft Tabbed Dialog Control 6.0" file name is TABCTL32.OCX.
My guess is it's installed as part of the VB6 ActiveX controls when you install VB6.
And as Code Doc mentions, I'm not totally sure what control you are really after.

I would definitely say so - after opening the Components dialog, look at the tabs along the top of it: "Controls" / "Designers" / "Insertable Objects"
The Controls tab is usually selected by default, so may not need to be clicked.
I have a very strong suspicion that the instructions didn't end at number 3.

There's the Tabbed Dialog Control, but there's also an SSTab control which comes included in Microsoft Common Controls 5.0 and 6.0. If you add that to your project, look in the toolbox and you will see the SSTab control.

As Si has pointed out above, we already carried the advice one step too far. All OP is trying to do is find the Controls tab after he clicks on Components. That's the default and it already shows the list of all the Components available, ready to be checked.
Gadfry, guys! I need a day off.

Re: Control tab? VB6
As that part of the dialog is usually ignored (most of the time we see it, we are actually adding controls), the instructions are not immediately obvious - it would help to have quotes around Controls, in addition to the capital C and the s.
It would then be clearer that 'the "Controls" tab' means a tab which is called "Controls", rather than 'the tab control' (which would refer a control which provides tabs).
