Dear All,
Thank you for a great forum!

I have the following problem.
I have several tab pages within a tab control.
Base on the tab page selected I want certain labels and text boxes to be visible/not visible and enabled/not enabled.

The main tab control is called:
tabCtlBcMain

The tab pages are called:
tabAbout
tabBuildingControlOperations
tabContraventions
tabDangerousStructures
The tab pages are my concern.
I tried the following and it does not seem to work:
Code:
[COLOR=Blue]Private Sub[/color] tabAbout_Click()
    
    tabAbout.SetFocus
    [COLOR=Green]'enabled state T/F [/color]
        txtStartDate.Enabled = [COLOR=Blue]False[/color]
        txtEndDate.Enabled = [COLOR=Blue]False[/color]
        cmdCalDate.Enabled = [COLOR=Blue]False[/color]
        cmdCalDateEnd.Enabled = [COLOR=Blue]False[/color]
        txtArea.Enabled = [COLOR=Blue]False[/color]
   [COLOR=Green] 'visibility [/color]
        LbStartDate.Visible = [COLOR=Blue]False[/color]
        txtStartDate.Visible = [COLOR=Blue]False[/color]
        lbEndDate.Visible = [COLOR=Blue]False[/color]
        txtEndDate.Visible = [COLOR=Blue]False[/color]
        cmdCalDate.Visible = [COLOR=Blue]False[/color]
        cmdCalDateEnd.Visible = [COLOR=Blue]False[/color]
        txtArea.Visible = [COLOR=Blue]False[/color]
        lbArea.Visible = [COLOR=Blue]False[/color]
    tabAbout.SetFocus
[COLOR=Blue]End Sub [/color]
I have tried variations of events - Change, Load...
This does not work.
Please help, I have tried for hours and search online up and down and nothing seems to be similar enough to guide me.
Thanks for your forthcoming help [smile]


Thank you,

Kind regards

No. Use the Change event of the tab control not individual pages. Value of the tab control is the page index. Pages are indexed 0 to N-1

Code:
Private Sub tabDemo_Change()
    Select Case tabDemo.Value
    Case 0
      'do some code for the first tab
    Case 1
       'do some code for second tab
    Case 2
       'do some code for third tab
    End Select
End Sub
 
Thanks so so so much!!
Works perfectly!

Thank you,

Kind regards
