Hi all,

I have a tab control and the two tabs that I use are in the top left. It would be great for the look and feel of the form if I could change those tabs to be at the top right. Is there a way to do that? Thanks in advance.

Also - is there a way to get rid of the lines that frame the tab control? I would like for it to blend into the overall page? Thanks again.

  1. In Design View, select the tab control (make sure it's the control, not one of the pages)
  2. Goto Properties - Format
  3. Set Style Property to None (this makes the tabs disappear)
  4. Set Back Style to Transparent (this makes it blend into the form)
  5. Now create buttons to replace the tabs, and place them on the right where you want them
In the click event for the buttons, place code like this:

YourTabControl = 0 '1st page button

YourTabControl = 1 '2nd page button

YourTabControl = 2 '3rd page button

You can set also the Transparent Property of the buttons to Yes, if you want them to blend in as well.
