Tabstrip Bug ???

I don't know... maybe I'm getting senile in my old age (20 in less than a month!!) But here's my problem:

1) Add a TabStrip to a form
2) Set the placement to bottom and the style to Buttons
3) Add a command button with a MsgBox TabStrip1.ClientHeight

When the buttons are anywhere besides the top, the ClientHeight is always 120!!!

Whats up with that?

Stop using the TabStrip - it's crap!
Use the Microsoft Tabbed Dialog control (on the Components List) instead - it was once written by Sheridan Software ( I think ), it's been around since VB4 and it's far far superior to MS's effort.

I had a problem with this too, and now I realize it couldn't be more simpler!
ThanX Buzby.

I've already tried the SSTab control from Microsoft and it doesn't have some key features that only TabStrip has (HotTracking and Button Style are 2 of them).

So.. The question remains.... Has anyone else seen the ClientHeight bug when the TabStrip is set to the bottom while using the "button" style??

Yes - it does it on mine. What it's probably trying to do is get the height below the buttons, but there is only the bottom of the control's window. Either way, it's a bit nasty...

Damnit. Microsoft sucks. Any ideas on a workaround for this pathetic bug??
