scrollable tabcontrol

[Guest]

I have a form with a tab control docked to the form. The tabcontrol contains
several tabs, and everything works fine.

Now I need to make it vertically scrollable in order to be operable on some
older low res portables. I set the form's AutoScroll to true, and nothing
happens no matter how I resize the form. (I guess this is because the
tabcontrol is docked, so it was resized too.) So I browsed the help and
didn't find much.

So, rather than continue by trial and error, I thought I'd ask here if
anyone know how to do this? There ought to be a fairly simple receipe to
scroll-enable a working form/dialog. FWI, using fw 1.1.

Put a panel in the tab page and other controls on the panel.

Thanks, you moved me in the right direction. Each TabPage on the TabControl
is serving a purpose like the Panel you suggested. All I needed to do was
set AutoScroll to true for each TabPage on the TabControl, and all is well.

Cool, an even more elegant solution.
