In development, how can I specifically put in objects for one tab and then put in objects for the other tab. I put a frame with some items on the first tab. Now I want to put some items specifically for the other tab. Nothing is happening when i click on the 2nd tab, in development. How do I need to approach this? I've been searching the tabstrip prperties for clues. Hmmm?
At design time draw the controls on tab1, then click tab2 and draw the controls on tab2. They don't need to be done in that order, but they do have to be drawn on the tab (or copy/pasted).

I agree; but that's the problem. In design, when I click on tab2, it just stays on tab1.
No don't use the Sheridan control. There is one called the Microsoft Tabbed Dialog Control. Just add it to your form and you should be able to click the tabs at design time and draw items on different tabs.
Originally posted by JimMuglia So I should use the SheridanSopftware tab? That's the kind you sent, as indicated in the About in properties for the tab?
Just a portion of it was developed by Sheridan Soft for Microsoft.
I didn't know it was a Sheridan Control. I don't use it, I tend to just use the tabstrip that comes with the windows common controls. It's a little more code, but I just got used to using it.

When you build your distribution files the installer will include whatever your clients need.
So is that true with most components ingeneral. Say I use Company X's widget control. Would my clients have to get a license or any ocx files from Company X? Or does the install take care of each and every of those isues?
When you purchase a control (or someone gives you a control that they wrote - in other words it's a legal copy) you have the right to distribute it in an application unless for some strange reason the maker specifically prohibits it.
