Maximum Number Of Controls On A Tab Control

Is there a "best practice" maximum number of controls that can be
loaded on to a tab control before things start getting messy and
sluggish? I'm asking for a "best practice" maximum number across all
tabs and not the maximum number that is theoretically possible.

I figure that trying to add lots of controls to lots of tabs must
affect performance at some point.

Any help is appreciated.

There is a maimum number of controls on a Form. Not sure about a TabControl.

Think of it this way. A TabControl is just a handy way of toggling the
visibility of a bunch of controls all at the same time. It likely has almost no
affect on performance at all. Certainly not any that I have been able to
perceive.

In some applications tab controls contain subforms. If things get
sluggish I typically only set the SourceObject once the user hits that
particular tab.

Otherwise: YMMV. Do some tests and see what your users' tolerance
level is.

I am working on a project that requires me to check the number of rows in a table with the same HTML "ID" value. I do this in my code with: i = document.all(rowid).length However, if the number of rows with the same ID is greater than 8, it always returns 8 (not 9, 10, etc.)

Hi, Does anyone know how Windows allocates memory for controls? For example, given a huge Panel, say, in a relatively much smaller Form with scrollbars, will Windows attempt to allocate a huge area of memory for the Panel's visible surface, or will it only allocate as much as is required (i.e. as much as is visible)? If the former, is there any way of preventing this? Like telling it that at this point in time, only X amount of the...

I have been struggling with .NET's scrollbars because when I use them I can't seem to get them to go to their maximum value. Searching on the web it looks like the maximum Value you can get on your scrollbar is actually it's Maxmimum - LargeChange + 1. So when I set my scrollbar's Maximum to the height of the image I want to scroll, it always falls short of the bottom LargeChange pixels. Thisis because when I draw the image I set it's...
