Tab Control - conditional formatting

[SAC]

I'm using Access 2000.

Can I change the a tab control tab based on some criteria?

I would like to change the color of the tab if a control on the tab meets a
criteria.

Thanks.

OK, I figured out how to put an image on the tab.

How would I code a different image based on criteria....how do I reference a
tab on a tabbed control and the picture property for it?

Thanks.

 

[SAC]

Would it be.....

???.picture = "C:\........path to picture"

I also noticed that there's a paintpalette and a pallettesource. Can/Should
I use these. If so...how would I reference them?

Thanks.

This code doesn't work...

TabCtl16.Pages(0).Picture = "D:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My
Documents\My Pictures\green.bmp"

It says "Object required."

What do I need to put in front of it to reference it?

Thanks

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

Version 1.5

Fixed Bug under Windows NT or higher and Color depth set to 16 bits. Tab.
Added sample Form with minimum implementation code.

Version 1.4

Added code to auto select Tabs as user passes Mouse above the Tab. Final
adjustments to logic to size Bitmaps to exactly match preset dimensions of
Tab pages. Cleaned up code. Just need to remove a few more API declares and
the code is clean!

Version 1.2
