working with multipage component

I'm currently working on a project using the multipage component to develop an interface with tabs. I have the following problem:

I found out by editing the Multipage you can add different tools to the different tabpages.When I select the toolbox to add them I don't seem to find some components which I find in the default toolbox (ex. Data control tool)

Also the different objects you add(like buttons, labels, etc..) don't appear in the properties window, so you can't set porperties like you normally can.

Anyone who has experience using multipages, be free to answer my questions.

Your posting is a few months old. I have been looking for good documentation on the Multipage Control myself, so far with little result. MS help has a few incomplete examples which don't seem to work very well; reference books I have found mention the TabStrip control but not the multipage control. I don't get it.
Re the Toolbar. Right click should expose additional controls you can add.
Re control properties not visible - I'm at the same point right now & have the same question. Perhaps they have to be set programmatically.

You are doing better than where I am now. I am trying to use multipage control, I can insert the control into the form, but at design time, I cann't access page2. so no way to insert controls to page2(Clicking tag 2 doesn't work!, While for multipage control in userform of VBA, clicking tag2 CAN get to page2).

Did I do wrong, or something wrong with the control dll?

I am asking Frank Loomer a question, can you access page2 at design time? how?

I found little documentation with multipage control from MS too.

thanks

For the people working with the multipage
component (or trying to work with it):

I tryed to use it to create a user interface
with multiple tab-pages. It didn't work...

To solve my problem, I use the SS Tab component instead. I had trouble using it the first time, because of a bug in the software (What's new). With this component, it's very easy to write a user interface with tab pages.

If you experience trouble inserting this component, you can find on the microsoft network a patch which solves the bug, so you can use the component after all.

Success with your projects !!
