tabs

Hello everybody,


I am using first time tabs in my form. But I really can't get to my second tab to modify my design on the second tab.

I really hope someone can help me out !

Thanks,


Bjorn

If you're using the tabstrip, then it's not easy. I always use the SSTab control. It's a container so you can put other controls in easy and you can select the different tabs at design time.
It's listed under components as MS tabbed dialog control 6.0

You will have to add a container control for each tab you add.

You could use an array of Pictureboxex, and then when clicking a tab, you would set the correct picturebox's visible prop to true, and the rest to false.

The attached sample show you how to use the tabstrip control.

hope this helps.

:)

Hello,


thanks a lot for your quick responses !
It's always a pity that microsoft their docs are so poor...

What are the pro 'n contras of using the SSTab control vs tabstrips ?

Thanks a lot,


Bjorn

SSTab was originally a Sheridan Controls control and I presume Sheridan developed it because the vb tabstrip is just plain crap.

Hehe :)

I had the same problem 2... Thnx for the advises :)

Try Right-Click on the TABs to go from one to the other. At least, that's how I do it with the BeCubed Tab Control. A lot easyer than typing the value in the ActiveFolder Property.

If you decide to use the evil TabStrip control, don't use PictureBoxes as containers--use Frames instead. They require less memory and overhead.
