Microsoft Windows Commond Controls 5.0 (sp2)

I can't Set the Seletected Property of the tabstrip or even read from it. It gives me only one MDI form allowed...

Any sugestions?????

Thanks for helping or even trying.

There is no Selected property for the TabStrip Control. Maybe you're looking for the SelectedItem property?

Or something else???

if you go tabstrip1.tabs.item(Item Index).selected then there is.

Yep, sure is. It works ok for me though. I can set it and I can get it to return a boolean.

Put tabstrip in form, Let's call the form Form1, and create another form.

Put this piece of code in the Newform's Activate event.

Form1.tabstrip1.tabs(indexNumber).selected = true

Where indexNumber is an avaible tab number in the tab control..

and it will give you a the message above. If you try this with Microsoft Windows Common Controls 6.0 then it works.

Using the Common Controls 5.0(sp2) components... I assumed that Form1 was your startup object. On Form1 I placed TabStrip with 3 tabs in it, then a command button with "Form2.Show" in its click event. I placed your code in Form2's activate event "Form1.tabstrip1.tabs(2).selected = true".

Am I missing anything? Does it fail in the VB Environment or only after compiled?

By the way, I ran this on an NT 4.0 SP4 machine, VB6 sp3.

I have a Win98 machine that I can test this on later today.
