MDI vs Tabbed

Hi...

I was just wondering if there is any advantage to creating a MDI project over the default project type in VS.NET 2003 ?

Programs like Word, Excel, and other use MDI so the user can access
different "documents" at the same time. Thus the name: Multiple Document
Interface. That is still it's best use, though I have seen some other
paradigms occasionally.

I'd love to see a VB.Net 2.0 example of a tabbed interface. It could be a notepad-type or browser-type application....doesn't matter. What would be great is an example that incorporated a custom control or interface on each tab and not just a simple single control per tab. Thanks for your help.

Hi all! As a preparation of a conversion from VB6 to VB2005 I'm playing around with VB2005. One of the first things that strike me is the user-interface. In all documentation Microsoft keeps going on about this beautiful Tabbed MDI Interface that we all should be using. And I agree, it is nice. So I set out to build my first test-app and guess what? I can't find how to create a Tabbed MDI Interface... I do see the "old" MDI container,...

Originally posted by Missinglinq: 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...

Hello, I've recently created a tabbed form. The forms within the tabbed form have command buttons that create reports based on queries that are driven by the forms (based on the !! setup). The reports work on the individual form level but do not run as components of the tabbed form. I cannot figure out why this is. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello, I can't seem to figure out how to prevent a tabbed form from changing colors toward the bottom half of the form. See image below: http://img236.imageshack.us/img236/8652/postbz5.jpg How can I adjust the background fill color of the tabbed form to prevent this slight color change? I can't find the property for back color of the tabbed form. Any help is greatly appreciated!
