tab control

[Guest]

It there a way to rotate a tab control so the tabs appear on the left rather
then accross the top?

No, there's not. Even a quick browse of Stephen Lebans site (developer of
all kinds of trickery) doesn't find one.

But it should be pretty easy to fake it. Just hide the tabs on your tabs
control (so only the pages are displaying), and build some labels/textboxes
beside tab control to imitate the behaviour of the normal tabs (ie. change
pages, with slight change in appearance as you do so).

Or imitate the whole tab control on a single form. There's an example of
this (with tabs at the top of the imitation tab pages) being used to control
the colour of the tabs available at
http://www.fontstuff.com/access/acctut12.htm. Just move the "tabs" to the
side.

HTH,

Thanks, I think that will work for me.
