How do I get TabStrip control on my form

[WantsToLearn]

Hello,

I set a reference to MSComCtl.ocx in my VB 6 project but now I can't find where to insert a TabStrip control on to my form in design view. I know this is something simple but I am drawing a blank. Can someone help me? Thanks!

May be you have to include the components called "Microsoft Windows Common Controls 5.0" where you can find TabStrip control

Instead of adding a reference to the .OCX, add the Components.

Project|Components select Controls tab, then check the Microsoft Windows Common Controls 6.0 SP4. The Tabstrip will then show in your toolbox

Thanks, John. I started out using VBA so I tend to overlook the components because references are so ingrained.
