Adding controls in the SSTab control

[vishwas]

Hi,

In VB 6.0 we had the sSSTab control where we could drag and drop different controls on each tab, for eg. 3 controls in tab 0 and 2 in tab 1. but I'm noy able to do this in VB.NET as all the tabls show whatever control i try to add. The tab i've used is the Microsoft Tabbed Dialog Control 6.0

any answers pls

in .net you use the tab control.
then you add tabpages to the tab control
and then you add your controls to the tabpages.

hope this points you in the right direction.
the documentation tells you exactly how to do it.

There are two tab controls in .net,
one belongs to the the
namespace Systems.Windows.Forms.TabControl
the other is got by addding a reference and belongs to the TabDlg name space.

I'm refereing to the TabDlg tab. in VB 6.0 it was known as SSTab (was a sheridian control)

the first tab control which I mentioned I'm able to add diff controls to diff tabs but not in the second tab control

ok, sorry -
what does this control do?

[vishwas]

It's basically like the normal tab control with a few variations.
the only diff which one can see is that it can behave like property pages or it's default settings. try placing both those controls on a form and you'll see the difference.

Use the one that is on the toolbar (default version) it is much better to deal with IMHO.
