Some beautiful example of tabcontrol ?

Hi,

I want to try design a TabControl (for instance
http://www.codeproject.com/vb/net/MDITabControl.asp).

For design inspiration, I would like to know pointers to
beautifully looking tabcontrol design either on the web or within
applications.

BTW: I do not want copy anything: just to see what has been done
and perhaps start from there! :-)
Thanks for any suggestion,

-P

What is TabControl? What is MDI? What does it have to do with
stylesheets?

What are you really trying to do?

Hello comp.infosystem s.www.authoring.stylesheets,

Looks like we have a rogue cross-poster.

That's a VB programming control for use in desktop applications. You
can use this on the web by writing an ActiveX control and deploying it
on a web page, but that's a M$oft-only technique that should be
strongly avoided for Web work.

On the web, the "Sliding Doors" technique is about the best approach
around. It's based on text, not images. It handles text re-sizing and
fluid design well. It requires little effort to construct the few
decorative images it does require.

If you _must_ use a graphic representation of a font on the web,
rather than allowing the browser to render it for you (a bad idea),
then the "Rollerblin d" technique is probably best.

You got the idea. I have been talking about "tabcontrol " in a
*general* sense, just
to get the idea. (So it's not really a rogue crosspost :-) ).

Any similar mechanism on web pages or forms will do.

Thank you.

I have used this 3rd party package
http://www.xtras.net/products/pintab/
after giving up on multiview

You can download the entire package and try out all the demos or just run
the "live demo" here
http://www.pintexx.com/

I bought it and it is well worth the $80 USD. Was much faster than rolling
my own aspx pages using multiview in VS2005. They have a forum but it is
not that great.

I want to place a tabControl with almost identical properties on several forms.

I suppose I COULD just design it as a UserControl and place a TabControl on it, but that seems a bit... inelegant (I'm going to...

I am learning python and beautiful soup, and I'm stuck. A web page has a table that contains data I would like to scrape. The table has a unique class, so I can use: soup.find("table", {"class": "class_name"}) This isolates the table. So far, so good. Next, this table has a certain number of rows (I won't know ahead of time how many), and each row has a set number of cells (which will be constant).

I am writing an application where I will have a TabControl and 3 styles of Tabs to go in it, each containing different controls. The tabs will be added to the tabcontrol when items are clicked on in a TreeView. So the the application starts by displaying no tabs and adds them in as required. There could be any number of each tab (0 upwards). What is the best way of me doing this? Should I create 3 custom controls that extend TabPage?...

Hi all In a Visual Studio 2005 C# project, I have a simplest tabcontrol with two tabpages. When I set tab control's Alignment property to Right, tab texts (captions) disappear. Does anybody know how to fix this? I tried this on two computers, at work and at home, both with Windows XP with latest service packs, and Framework 2.0 and 3.0 with latest SP.
