tab control within a tab control

[303factory]

Sorry to spam two questions in one go

Is it possible to have a tab control with sub tab controls within it?

If I create a new tab control within a tab it appears on every screen of the master tab, seems to be bound to the form not the tab I created it on. Is this not possible? I can work around it but would not be ideal

The only way to get a nested tab control is to place the nested tab control on a subform and add the subform to one of the pages on the parent tab control.

You can set the display so that you do not see the sub form border so it looks seamless.

another solution - don't use tab controls
you can create your oun look like tab contols set, using a group of toggle buttons. maybe they are not as beuty as real tab controls are but they are much more easy to customize.

it seems am facing the same problem nested tab control is visible on every page, any other way to go around it.

tab control is visible on every page,

That usually means it's not on the Tab control but behind it, or in your case in front of it.

I've read the previous comments in this thread, and I think the answer is there, if it's not there please explain why you are asking? what have you tried, what didn't work?

Solved, initially, it was failing to disappear, thank you so much

You can add a navigation control within a tab page. Would this work for you?

Putting a tab control on a tab control does NOT require the use of subforms. Tab controls are funny. If they don't have the focus when you add your control, the new control bleeds through and is visible on all tabs. Remove it and try again.

Tab controls are funny.

I agree with Pat.

I blogged about placing controls on a tab control here:-

Tab Controls You can use a "Tab Control" to present several pages of related information. A "Tab Control" allows you to squeeze more information on to your Form, making it possible to have a smaller Form, or have a more "information dense" Form. You can also place subforms on your Tabs.See my...
