query related to display in tab control

[vinanti]

hi there!

i am working on a tab control.it has two pages:something similar to a find files dialog box of windows.
my problem is that a few of my controls from the second page of the tab control are shown even when the first page is selected .i want to avoid this as it leads to a lot of confusion and my buttons from 1st and 2nd pages are also getting mixed up in the run mode.
Is there any option that would help me make my tab pages opaque...plz suggest.

could anybody plz help.
thnks in advance.

Hi!

Your problem is that the objects that are visible on all tabs are not actually placed on a specific tab. You must make sure that you place the object on the specific tab. In design mode, first HIGHLIGHT the tab you want to place the object on, then place the object on the highlighted tab.

hi patrik,
but actually i have placed them propely on the tabs only after selecting the appropriate tab,but the problem still exists.
now it is more critical,b'coz,
i have two tabs:2-cheque date,1-party name; the search of my records is based on these two tabs,now when the user clicks on the first tab that is party name:the textfield from the second tab and the option group of the second tab are also visible,this misleads the user,further when he clicks on the go button for the search on party name the button that gets clicked is the go button of the 2nd tab.
all this leads to a lot of confusions,i am in a bad state ,plz help...

thnks in advance...

"but actually i have placed them propely on the tabs"...

If the items are showing on both tabs then they have not been placed corrctly.

1. Select the field
2. Right mouse click and select "CUT"
3. Click the tab header you want to place the field on (you know you have selected it correctly when all the fields on the tab have been "boxed".
4. Right mouse Click and select "PASTE"

The item is now solely on the selected tab.
