Newline on Tab Control

[Frink]

Hallo,

Does anyone know how to get two lines of text on a tab page caption?
ie.
Line1
Line2

It doesn't wrap-around automatically if you make the width shorter, and
"Line1" & vbCrLf & "Line2"
Just shows some 'box' chars in between the text on one line.

I've tried it with vbCr and vbLf on their own, but no luck.
I've also tried using a bitmap, but it doesn't support the colour depth, so the background is the wrong grey.

Any ideas?

I don't think you can - but you can control the tabl width to a fixed width so that long labels don't take up too much room. Set the control's "Tab Fixed Width" property to something other than 0cm


'ope-that-'elps.

Hallo,

Cheers for that, that's what I was doing, with four tabs on 2 rows, but I thought it would look less confusing with a single row of four tabs.

Never mind eh?

Frink,

Just an FYI

If you do want two lines on a tab label, using the Chr(13) & Chr(10) on the form's load event works. You have to set the Tab Fixed Height to something that will let the user see the second line.

tpg02.Caption = "First Line" & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & "second Line"

Hallo,

Cheers for that John, but that doesn't work in the version of Access I'm using (2000).
They must have fixed it in later versions. What version are you using?

Does that also mean that they've fixed it so you can have more than 16 colours in a tab page caption image?

It doesn't work in my Access 2002 either.
