Tab Strip Code

Hello,

Hope you are doing well. Can anyone help me insert a tab strip in a
form?

Here are the details. My form is called "frmSecurities". I want to
insert a tab strip with 4 tabs. The tabs are "Main", "Search",
"Processes", "Misc". I know I need to create sub forms to display as
the tabs. I just dont know whow to program the tabstipr or even how to
strat its programming.

Thanks for the help.

Don't use the TabStrip. Use the native TacControl. Just drag it onto your
form from the Toolbox bar and then place a subform control onto each page.

There is no "programming" required for the basic use of a TabControl.

And just so you know, Wes, "I know I need to create sub forms to display as
the tabs" is not true. While subforms are frequently placed on tab controls,
tab controls can also simply be used to divide a form's controls into logical
groups, i.e. A client's contact information on one tab, project requirements
on another, etc. When used in this manner, the controls are referenced just
as if they were on a simple, one-screen form.
