Page Frames

[crossface]

I would like to create a form using pageframes. I would like to have the tabs be fixed on 3 rows with 1t tabs. The caption for each tab can be changed programtically. I don't want the postion or rows of the pageframe to change. I just want 3 fixed rows. Is this possible. I am using VFP 6.0. Is this easier in VFP 8.0

Do you mean three horizontal tabs?

3 rows of 5 I was referring to the tabs for each pageframe

Still a little unclear.

What exactly do you mean by 3 rows of 5?

Humor me...

I am sorry

I am creating a form with a number of PageFrames on it. The tabs which you click on are what I am referring to. Prsently I only have 6 and set the rows to single. However, I am going to increase the number of pages from 6 to 15 and will want to use multiple rows so more of the word is on each tab. I would like 3 rows of with their positioning being fixed. However, depending on where I click and how long the page title is the tabs move all around and may increase to 4 if the title are too long. I can I make this so it would be 3 fixed rows.

The paradigm of pageframes is for the page that you are on to have its tab "connected". IF the tab were in the top row (with two other rows "in front of it"), then that top row must move to the front of the stack so the tab can be connected.


What you can do is to create a pageframe with no border (or no tabs, at least) then overlap commandbutton controls at the top to look like tabs. In the CLICK of each button, THISFORM.pageframe1.ActivePage = 1 (or 2, or 3...)

I think you can simulate exactly what you want. In the form designer, to get to the other pages of the page frame, you have to pick the page directly in the properties-sheet combobox, since you can't click on the page tabs....

Good idea
