I'm trying to put controls on a multipage.  All attempts
to do this have failed.  All searches on Google have failed
to uncover an answer.  Is this a closely guarded secret?

VB5 on Windows NT.

Many thanks,

Do you mean a TabStrip control?  If so see MSDN at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cmct...
ml/vbobjtabcontrol.asp

Remember that the TabStrip control cannot host controls itself, but that the
"contained" controls need to be placed on containers (such as frame
controls) which are shown/hidden on demand.

The SSTab control (Sheridan Tab control), on the other hand, *is* able to
contain controls...but I prefer the TabStrip control.

 Thanks!

 Mike

DRAWING the control you want onto the PAGE
you want it on. DO NOT simply "double click" the
control on the tool bar so that it shows up on the
page.

Click once on the tool bar (say a command button)
put your mouse cursor on the multipage that you
have previously selected, hold down your left mouse
button and drag the mouse down and to the right.
You can then resize and move the control where you
want it.

This method tells VB you want the control on that
page only. If you double click the control it will
appear on ALL of the pages in the same position.

HTH,

Before we go any further with this, let's get one thing straight.
