Trying to learn TabStrip.. LOST!

[hozo]

How do you create a new tab, create a new frame, new controls, assign them to that frame then view the proper frame based on the tab click?

I got a lot of it just by futzin' but I cant fingure how to load the new controls and have them around until the user clicks.. ?

So far I got the Tab in design, with one frame and a browser control inside that frame. I add new tabs easy and I'm using LOAD to create the new frame instance. I'm getting the right count (say adding a tab does show frame.lbound as 2) so it's there.. but I can seem to figure how to make it visible and on top of the current frame? Help!

Anyone got a good tutorial or code? Thanks people.

Instead of using the TabStrip, try the infinitely better SSTab control. Add the "Microsoft Tabbed Dialog Control" to your project.

Man, you are awesome!

I just did everything I needed in <5min what took me 2 hours on that other control... and I didnt even get it to work right!


Thanks again!

wait.. quick question
whats the quickest way to start with one tab, and thruought the runtime, just be able to dup that tab.. into 2,3,4 and +

You can start with 1 tab...

I know that tabs are containers, but I don't believe, to my irritation, that they are members of a collection. Instead, they're just an array.

Actually I figured it all out. Thanks man!
