Options dialog... 1

[JFRobishow]

Hi everyone,

Well I realize this might seems like a trivial things for most of you but I just added an Option dialog form to my application. I see the default 4 tabs, I can go through them at run time...I seen from the code that it's basically only showing a picture box and hiding the other, anyway I think it's doing that.

Question is how the hell do I add stuff to the other tabs (picture boxes). I can see the first one and edit it, but how do I place stuff on tab 2, etc.

Thanks in advance!

JFRobishow,

The Option Dialog works just like a normal form with a Tab strip control inserted.

You can find help on using the tabstrip control on MSDN and here are a couple of pages that might help.

Hi cdraycott,

Thanks for the reply and the two helpful links. I was just wondering if you could browse through the tabs at design time...which would have been easier. I never used tab strip control so I didn't know

There is another control called the SSTab control (which I prefer to use) that allows you to setup them up in design time as you would see them at run time. In the Components dialog it is called Microsoft Tabbed Dialog Control.
