How To Use Tab Srip Control, Progress Bar

[Guest_imported]

Hi,

How to use the tab strip control. On one tab strip I can lay my controls but how to lay another set of controls on the second tab. Please Let me know.


How do I use a progressbar, which should show the percentage of completion (maybe on a label).
Example: I click on save record button for data to be saved on a dbase table. I need a progressbar to indicate this. Since the save process is very quick I need the progress bar to take, say 3 seconds, to reach 100% and save the record after this 3 seconds. A label should display the percentage of completion. (I think 30% for a second and 30% again and 40% for the 3rd second would be the right interval).

Also can we change the color of the progress indicator form blue to any other color. (Maybe I can user a labels instead of the progressbar).
Thanks

Hey rainbowcastle.

TabStrip-problem:

The way I see it you have two options.

1. Use a frame (for example a picturebox) for each tabstrip you have. Set all the frame to VISIBLE = FALSE and add the following code to you application:

Private Sub TabStrip1_Click()
With TabStrip1
If .SelectedItem.Index = 1 Then
'Enable/Disable the frames you want here.
End If

If .SelectedItem.Index = 2 Then
'Enable/Disable the frames you want here.
End If
End With
End Sub

Tip: If you use a picturebox as a frame, change its APPEARANCE and BORDERSTYLE property to make the frame invisible to the user at runtime.

2. Add the Windows Tabbed Dialog control using CTRL-T at designtime. This control allows you to select the different tabs in designtime. (Name: TABCTL32.OCX)

Let me give a strong recommendation for option 2 given by Thei. The SSTab control is much easier to program.
