Make a tab Bold

[HappyPaul]

I want to make a tab on a tabed form bold (or stand out in another
way) if a field on that page meets certain criteria

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance

Paul

You can't make the text on one TabPage different from the other pages as far
as bold or font size, etc.. You can change the caption itself so you could
add some asterisks or something like that.

Each TabPage can have both caption text and an icon on the tab so you could
add an icon only to the page you want to highlight or make it have a
different icon from the other pages.

Tabs.zip is an MDB containing a class to enhance the standard Access TAB
control in order to allow for:

1) Tabs of any color

2) Rotated Text

Notes:

You must set the Tab controls TAB Fixed Height and Width properties

You must set the Individual Tab pages TAG property to whatever color
value you desire.



History

Version 1.6

Added support to allow for the coloring of just the Current/Active TABS
and not the background of the Tab control

I solved that problem by putting boxes _under_ the tabs and painted
colors based on a refresh
