ActiveX Pageframe

[Eguy]

Hi All;

We have a client who would like the tabs on a pageframe to go down the side instead of along the top. (Yes they sit up nights dreaming this #$%& up). I looked in the Hackers guide and they say this can only be done with ActiveX. Has anyone done this, or know someone who has done this, or know someone who knows someone who has done this?

Thanks
Ed
BTW - Whats happened to ramani? Has not been heard from since June 29! Something else for me to worry about now. I hope he is not in some part of the planet where they keep shooting at each other.

Please let me know if the suggestion(s) I provide are helpful to you.

ramani is proberly answering one of those #$%& dreams.

have you tried universial thread or virutal foxpro user group. I have seen this control being touted in one of those sites. Attitude is Everything

Hallowgram has an Activex that will allow (quote) "Position tab headers on the top, bottom, left or right side. " (endquote)

Ed,
Go to the UT (

http://www.universalthread.com)

click on the Download picture on the left, and choose the Visual FoxPro area. Next enter 'pageframe' (without the quotes) in the Summary area and press Enter. You should get back a couple entries - I've used "PageFrame with enhanced Tabs" by Mike H.

Glad you found one.

A tactic I have frequently found useful when dealing with clients in those type of situations is to ask very politely.

So is 'fill in weird request here' worth 10 times the development cost more to you than doing it 'fill in normal way of doing it here'?

It frequently gets used when they want a report that would take 1 hour to do if the groups were displayed vertically setup with the groups horiz. accross the page.

Thanks everyone!

I looked in Tools > Options > Controls and staring me right in the face was "MicroSoft TabStrip Control". Just as the name implies it is a tab strip that can be oriented to top, bottom, left or right. Set TABS to .F. on your pageframe, on the tabstrip control set the number of tabs and the captions, butt the tabstrip up to the pageframe, add 1 line of code in the click event.

this.parent.Pageframe1.ActivePage = this.object.SelectedItem.Index

Home free!

There's also the MS Tabbed Dialog Control. It's another version of a pageframe. You'll probably have to add it the same way as the tabstrip control from Tools->Options....
