What exactly do you mean by another form. Each tab can be designed the way you want. One thing to keep in mind when working with tabs is that you must draw your controls directly onto the tab. Double clicking attaches the control to the form though it appears to be on the tab.

Use the click event of the tab control and test the tab property of the tab control. If the correct tab has been clicked (you will know the tab number that you want the action to take place on) show the other form:

Create a new project with 2 forms (Form1 and Form2) and put an sstab on Form1. Paste the following code into Form1 module:

Option Explicit

Private Sub SSTab1_Click(PreviousTab As Integer)
If SSTab1.Tab = 2 Then
Form2.Show
End If
End Sub


and run the program. Clicking on tab2 will cause Form2 to be displayed.

Hi jpunya
' for a 3 tab SST
Private Sub SSTab1_Click(PreviousTab As Integer)
Select Case SSTab1.Tab
Case 0
'execute code
Case 1
'execute code
Case 2
'execute code
Case Else
' Do nothing
End Select
End Sub
