VB 6 Tabstrips

[gboyd]

Hello,

I have VB 6.0 with sp5 installed. I have a tabstrip set into a form and have added 3 additional tabs to it, making the total 4. I wish to place controls on the 2nd tab now and can't seem to do it. When I searched in MSDN Library with 'tabstrip' it instructed me to select the tabstrip control then to hold down the shift key as I select the 2nd tab. When I do this it selects the form I'm designing, not the 2nd tab or even the tabstrip.

In order to add this object I did go into the Project menu and choose Components. In that window I chose
Microsoft Windows Common Controls 6.0 (SP4),
Microsoft Windows Common Controls-2 (SP4), and
Microsoft Windows Common Controls-3 (SP5).

I've looked in MSDN and Steven Holzner's Visual Basic 6 Black Book to no avail.

I always add 1 picturebox control per tab to the form, and show or hide the picturebox that I need when a tab is selected. It works very well.
