To Load Form on to Tab Control Page

Hi!

Assuming you have two forms:
1) MainForm - form that contains the tabcontrol (assuming it has 2 pages)
2) UserForm - form to be added into the MainForm's tabcontrol page.

There are two solutions:
# 1 Solution: In the load event of MainForm write this code...

Private Sub MainForm_Load(B yVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArg s) Handles MyBase.Load

Dim frmUser As New UserForm
frmUser.TopLeve l = False
frmUser.FormBor derStyle = System.Windows. Forms.FormBorde rStyle.FixedSin gle

Me.TabControl1. TabPages(0).Con trols.Add(frmUs er)
frmUser.Show()

End Sub

Note: you may change the borderstyle to suit your preferences. You may set it to "NONE" so that the controls in UserForm will appear like part of the tab page control and not the Form itself.

# 2 Solution

Create UserForm as a "user control" and not a "form" then rebuild. Once it is found in the object list in the Object Explorer, you can drag the object towards the tabpage on your MainForm.

Hope this helps.

Thanks so much for your informative answer. Your first option worked like a champ. Keep up the great work.

BTW, I modified your solution for C#, but it was very straightforward .

Thanks again.
