Index Tabs

Author	Message
MikeG093 #1 / 5	Index Tabs I was wondering if it were possible to have a form with index tabs on the side that would behave like contol buttons. These tabs would open a section of a document. An example would be a patient file where section one would be personal information, section two would be medical information, section three would be lab reports. I know that you guys like to see code, but I haven't any yet. I'm not sure what direction to go to get started. Thanks.

Since the only other thread you posted is dotnet related, I assume that you are not using VB6 or lower. In this case, try the following group:

Stan Weis #4 / 5	Index Tabs Mike. Not exactly sure if this is what you want to do. I have a form with a number frames on it that have their visibility set to false. When I click a command button it sets visibility to true for the corresponding frame.

Set the TabStrip's Placement property to 2 - tabPlacementLeft. Personally, however, I think I'd find this annoying (the tabs being on the side, presumably left side, of the form). Probably better to have the tabs in the traditional style. -- Mike
