SStab changes

I have a large amount of tabs and information gets populated in to these tabs, is there anyway to change the apperance of the tabs to alert the user that there is information there

First of all you should set the Multirow property of the Tabstrip object to True to that all the tabs are visible on the form.

Secondly, if you are using version 6.0 controls than the individual Tab object in the Tabs collection of the Tabstrip object exposes the Highlight property. Setting this property to True causes the individual tab to appear highlighted. You can use this to acquire user's attention. You can also use a timer to toggle the highlight on and off repeatedly to create a blinking effect.

Note that the Highlight property is only available in version 6 common controls.

Hi i cannot see the tabsript object although i have found font and bold but i cannot get it to work properly

SSTab1.Tab(a).Font.Bold = True

But this does not work, are there any work arounds

To make a (which is a tab number) make the header on the tab bold

I see that you are using the Microsoft Tabbed Dialog Control(SSTab) instead of the TabStrip control.

Note that the SSTab control does not support this highlight property. Neither it allows you to change the font-weight to bold for an individual tab.

I think you may need to look into TabStrip control(v6) as I advised above.
