tab on forms

Hi there

I ran out of room on the form.

Is there a way to easily add a tab for another page on a form? Or is there
a way to make a form larger?

Click to expand...

On the same toolbox bar where you can add TextBoxes, ListBoxes, etc., is a
TabControl.

You will need to add the TabControl and then Cut and Paste the desired
controls to each TabPage. NEW controls can be dragged and dropped onto
TabPages, but existing controls cannot be.

Takes a little adjustemnt with regard to sizing and lay out but you can
also add a PageBreak to your from, and continue adding ellements to the
second page. In the form footer add some navigation to navigae the pages.

Larger than what? How easy is "easily" and for whom? :)

You can design the form to be longer than you can display at once.
When the form displays a slider bar will appear to the right of its
window unless you have deliberately disabled it. That seems like a
pretty easy way to get the job done if the results are satisfactory.

A more complex approach uses a Tab control to display a different
part of the form on each tab: Page 1, Page 2, etc. You have to
place Page Break controls on your form properly in order to
synchronize the tab and the section of the form you want it to show.
