Options Dialog?

[Emo]

When I insert an Options Dialog into my App, how can I switch between tabs during design mode?

Thanks

Which control is it? SSTab or the TabStrip control?

If it's the SSTab control, you can simply click on the tabs to switch between them. With the TabStrip control it's difficult.

It's TabStrip Control

If it's that difficult, then how am I supposed to desin it?
If somebody know how do it, then please tell me. If not, then I'll try something different!

I've always used the SSTab. The other one (TabStrip) is weird.

A tabstrip is not a container, so you cannot place objects inside of it. It is a real pain to use and you should use the SSTab. If you have to use the tabstrip then what you should do is create a frame for each tab and move the frame into the correct position when you click on the tab. So if you have 5 tabs, create 5 frames and then hide all of them. When the user switches tabs, hide all the previous frame and then show the correct frame in the correct position.

Hope this helps,

The only feature that the TabStrip control has and the SSTab does not is the ability to use Ctrl+Tab to navigate through all the tabs at runtime.

If you wish to use the SSTab control, go to Project > Components and select the Microsoft Tabbed Dialog control and insert it in your options dialog box instead of the TabStrip control.

Emo, there is a way!

This puzzeled me too . I found out that if you use the object dropdown box on the properties window, you can choose any frame that is used as the tab. Then just press Ctrl + J. This will put the frame on top.

Hope this helps,
