Adding tabs to a tab control. 1

[rickyoswaldiow]

Good afternoon everyone. I'm trying to make a tab control with multiple tabs but I can only get as far as adding the tab control in, how do I add the extra tabs?!?

If it's the SSTab Control you mean then in the Properties window you will see Tabs 3 and TabsPerRow 3

Just set the number of Tabs you wish to use.

Aha I see, I had the wrong sort of tab selected (TabStrip). I did a little google on SSTabs and found that, to access it, I needed to include the component Microsoft Tabbed Dialogue Control 6.0 (SP5).
That's:
Project > Components > Microsoft Tabbed Dialogue Control 6.0 (SP5).

Thanks for the info

Just a word of advise on SSTab:

I always put a frame on the Tab and place my controls on that frame, so the only control on the Tab itself is a frame. If you make a control array out of the frames where index of the frame is corresponding to the Tab on SSTab control, it is easy to deal with the frames.

You ask "why"?

SSTab works this way: it moves all controlls on Tabs (that are not selected) way, way out, like .Left = -74850, and sometimes it does not bring them back to original position. Try to find all of your controls if that happens. If all of them are on one frame, it's easy.


Have fun.

Interesting note, luckily my design was already using frames on the tabs!
