Hi....I was having a problem with the SSTab control in VB4.0 Pro.  I would
create the control and put some other control ontop of the tab, but if I
moved the tab control the other control (text control) would stay still.
Or if I switched tabs, the control (text control) would stay visible.

I heard that there was new version of the tabctrl32.ocx, so I got it and
extracted it over top the old one.  I am having the same problem!

Is there something else I need to do to upgrade it, or am I doing something
wrong?

Thanks in advance....

Ken

I would guess your double clicking the controls you want to add to the tab
control.

Try just single clicking the disired control then drawing the control on the
tab control.  To draw the  object on the tab control just click and hold then
drag and let go.

I had the same problem.  Spent ages trying to fix it.  I ended up
using the Tab OCX that comes with VB4.  Works almost identically
(except supports a win95 look as well)

Another way of getting the control into the tab, assuming you have spent
some time customising it and don't want to do it again, is to select the
item you want to place into another container, cut it to the clipboard,
and then select the container before doing a paste.  It will now be
inside the container at the top left corner.  Move it where you want it.

This is also a useful technique for creating arrays of controls, and can
be used to create several arrays at once.

To qualify what Kevin said: when you double-click, the new control is
placed on the form itself.  If you want it inside a container, you have
to draw it inside the container.

I appreciate the help that people have provided.
