need tabstrip expert

How can i select and display 2nd tab rather than the 1st(default)tab when i load a form?

try this (assumes you want the second Tab, it starts at Zero)

Code:

---

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Me.tabControl.Pages(1).SetFocus
End Sub

---

Sorry, i can't get what u mean. I try to use ur code but i can't find the command u give me.

Hi Leeckeat:

Use this procedure, I don't know if it's the correct way but it works:

In the tab's caption use the "&" (ampersand) character to underline a character that you can use with de ALT key, e.g. "TAB&2", when you conbine the keys ALT+2 the tab-2 will be selected. Then when you load the form use the "SENDKEYS" command:

Private Sub Form1_Load()
SendKeys "%2"
End Sub

The "%" character represents the ALT key.

When the form is loaded it'll send the keys ALT+2 and in the TabStrip the tab-2 will be selected, check this in the Load or Activate events on the form.

I hope this can help you.

Best regards.

Assume you have not changed the default names of the controls, this should work fine.

Code:

---

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Form1.TabStrip1.Tabs(2).Selected = True
   
End Sub

---

hope this helps,

Shaun

Try this:

Code:
