TabStrip Question

Can anyone tell me how I set one tab on the tab strip to be pressed down when a form loads?

sstab1.tab = 0 or
sstab1.tab = 1 or
sstab1.tab = 2 or

I didn't know about sstab until now and I have a load of frames and everything on the tabstrip so I don't really want to change it

Well then god bless you. :D

I would copy all your frames over to an sstab.

Although I do agree that SSTAB control is better, I will answer the question you asked...

Assumes TabStrip with 3 tabs :

VB Code:

Private Sub TabStrip1_Click()
    
    If Me.TabStrip1.Tabs(1).Selected = True Then
        
        MsgBox 1
        
    ElseIf Me.TabStrip1.Tabs(2).Selected = True Then
        
        MsgBox 2
        
    ElseIf Me.TabStrip1.Tabs(3).Selected = True Then
        
        MsgBox 3
        
    End If
    
End Sub

James, that code does not select a tab on form load.

I think he means something like this:

VB Code:

Private Sub Form_Load()
    TabStrip1.Tabs(2).Selected = True ' selects second tab
End Sub

i find sstab is much better to use

only people from jamie's kitchen use tab strip

Sorry, I misread...

I thought the goal was to determine clicked tab...:o

I agree with you in most cases. I only use the tabstrip, if multiple tabs share the same controls, and I only need the strip, and the click event (to modify the data in the controls).

I believe this is what you're after (substitute "2" for whatever tab you want to be selected):

VB Code:

Set TabStrip1.SelectedItem = TabStrip1.Tabs(2)
