    Re: NewTab: tab control for VB6

    Dear Eduardo,

    Some issues observed:

    Issue of primary concern to me right now
    --
    1. After starting your sample project group "Test uncompiled.vbg", in IDE (design time), I am unable to select the individual tabs (other than 'Tab 0') and place/add controls in them. To ensure it is so, I tried running your sample in the one other system of mine too. The result is the same. Of course, the result is the same, if I create a project of my own too (like 'abc', using the steps I mentioned in my previous post and which you have okayed).

    Note-1: if I start "Test with ocx compiled.vbg", therein I am able to quite easily select all the individual tabs and place/add controls in them at design time.

    Note-2: By 'Tab 0', I mean the tab with caption 'Tab 0' which appears selected by default anyway, as soon a NewTab is added to a form.

    Issues NOT of primary concern
    --
    1. When using "Test uncompiled.vbg", after right-clicking the NewTab control (added to a form), clicking 'Properties' and selecting the 'Help' tab in the "Property Pages" screen, the 'Help' contents do not appear coherently. Also, the contents do not seem to get loaded fully.

    2. Unicode texts (both caption and tooltip) not retained after close & reopen of project. All characters appear as questions marks. This issue exists in both 'Test uncompiled.vbg" and "Test with ocx compiled.vbg". If the project is compiled to an exe (with the Unicode texts), the executable exhibits Unicode text correctly for both caption and tooltip. So, right now, I am planning to manage this issue by populating the Unicode caption and tooltip texts during 'Form' Load. Any other easier way?

    In case my above observations are incorrect, kindly let me know what I need to do to correct the issues I am facing.

    General query:
    To change the names of the themes, the procedure to be followed is to change their names in the bas file (mNewTabThemes). Right? I saw a theme named as 'Esmerald'. I wanted to change its name (name alone) to 'Emerald'. So, I changed "Esmerald" to "Emerald" in the 'LoadDefaultThemes' function of the aforesaid bas file. This works and I am able to see the change in the theme name effected correctly. But, hope this procedure I adopted is correct and there are no side-issues in this.

    By the way, the facility to reorder the tabs at run time is great. Kudos for thinking of a feature like this in the first place.

    And, I take this opportunity to once again thank you for your fabulous NewTab control.

    Kind Regards.
