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.infosystems.www.authoring.stylesheets,

Looks like we have a rogue cross-poster.
So it does. I missed that. I'll have to check my killfile to see
why it slipped through.

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 "Rollerblind" 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.

Hi,

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.
