To insert tab pages:
1. | Use the Windows Designer catalog to open the appropriate window/dialog, and then select the object into which you want to insert the tab pages. |
2. | From the menu bar, choose Insert, Tab, or drag-and-drop a Tab object from the Class Tree. |
3. | From the menu bar, choose Insert, Tab Page, as many times as you want the Tab object to have pages. |
| Tab objects must have at least ONE tab page. The first one is inserted automatically. |
4. | For each of the tab pages, use the Page Title property on the Visual tab page of the Property Inspector to give it the required label/prompt. |
5. | If required (e.g. if you want them ordered alphabetically), you can change the order of the tab pages by setting their Position property. |
6. | You can now drag and drop the required objects (e.g. tables or buttons) onto your tab pages. |
| A frequent mistake is to insert objects on the Tab object instead of on a Tab Page. Before inserting objects onto a tab page, make sure you select the Tab Page itself, not the Tab that contains it. |
| To minimize the risk of mistakes, USoft will automatically create a Tab Page if you attempt to drag and drop an info box onto a Tab control. |
