Tab controls (1 Viewer)

[MarkK]

On the upper left of the properties window there is a ComboBox with an alpha-sorted list of all the controls on a form. Select the item in the list and it is selected in design view of the form. If you've set your Tab.Style property to None, your tab pages--each of which are a control--are visible and easy to access in that list.

Actually got this design from @moke123

I had to look twice to remember what I did.

I think tabs are zero indexed so 2 is actually page 3.

yes, subtract 1 from the value of the frame to get the page index.

Me.TabCtl0.Pages(Me.Frame16 - 1).SetFocus

There doesn't seem to be a bowing down in reverence emoticon available... I did not know that, but I will certainly never forget that now. Awesome tip.

Also a great way of finding controls that get lost behind other controls
