How do I correctly make a TabStrip work?

[Daniel_Christie]

I want to make a user interface that uses the "TabStrip". My problem is I can easily place objects on the front tab side. But I am unable to see the second tab's side to allow me to add objects onto there. In other words, Let's say I added a command button and a text box on the first tab's side and now I need to work on adding things onto the seconds tab's side. How do I view the second's side so I can place things on it. Side one's command button and textbox remain in the view. I am using VB5 Enterprise Edition. This is hard to explain, I hope this is enough information.

Thankyou for your time and effort,
Daniel Christie

The TabStrip doesn't treat each Tab as a seperate Sheet, so any Controls you place on there will appear no matter which Tab is selected.

You could get around it by placing the Controls for Each Tab in a Container Object, (ie. a Picturebox), then make the Container Visible or Invisible, depending on which Tab is selected, or, you can use the Tabbed DialogBox Control, which does have seperate Sheets for each Tab.

Aaron,

How do I get the "Tabbed DialogBox Control" onto my tool box?

I appreciate your help,

Go to Components and check Microsoft Tabbed Dialog Control 5.0. Should do the job.
