Using Tabbed Pages on a Form

The first thing to remember is that Tabbed Pages are all part of a single form; think of it as a really long form turned on its side and folded on itself. Because it is all one form, references to contols on any page are done in the same manner as if they were all on one single screen.

Create a form in Design View. Goto the toolbox and click on the Tabbed Control icon; it actually looks like several manila file folders. Place it on your form and adjust the size to your liking. If you need more than the two tabbed pages it initially gives you, click on the tabbed control to select it. Goto Insert and click on Tabbed Control Page and another tabbed page will be added. Do this as many times as neccessary.

This is the really important part: when you go to add a control to a tabbed page, you must first click to select one of the pages, then add the control. Otherwise, the control will be added to the form itself, and will show through on all tabbed pages!

I know Steve Lebans has code for changing colors of tabs/pages when active but the code is so complex I can't follow it to pick out the parts I need. I just want to make the current page name bold when a page on a tabbed form is active. Is there some simple code for this? I haven't been able to find any. Thanks! Heather

Hi all, As some of you would know from my previous posts that I am rewriting our Unix based system into .Net with a MDI interface. Recently I have added a tab control to the top of the MDI parent form that will contain a tab page for each open MDI child form. It is only 24 pixels high so all you see is the tabstrip. Then I only have to...
