- Proceeding:
- -----------
-
- You need THREED.VBX (VB Pro-Edition 3.0).
-
- If you want to integrate a form with PerfectTAB into your application, you just have
- to do a few steps:
-
- 1. Add PERFTAB.BAS to your project
- 2. Add NEWTAB.FRM to your project instead of "File->New form"
-
- Each level of the tabbed dialog contains three controls:
-
- 1. Tab_Sheet() - (SSPanel)
- 2. Tab_Loop() - (PictureBox)
- 3. Tab_Label() - (Label as a sub-control in Tab_Loop)
-
- NEWTAB.FRM is predefined with 5 levels, index 0 to 4. If you don┤t need all the five
- levels, f.e. you need only three, just must delete Tab_Sheet(3-4) and Tab_Loop(3-4).
- Thats all. If you need more levels, you can copy Tab_Sheet() and Tab_Loop() to get a
- furhter level.
-
- Some properties can be set at the Form_Load procedure, but are not needed in any case.
- If you want to design own styles, you can do it with Paintbrush or any other pixel-oriented
- drawing-program. A loop-picture can have each size you want, but it┤s important, that
- the picture for the active-loop has the same size as the picture for the inactive-loop.
-
- To change the style at design time, you have to change the picture-properties of
- Tab_Loop_Picture(0-1).
- PerfectTAB comes also with four predesigned styles. You can try them if you load the
- included .BMP files to Tab_Loop_Picture().
-
- The position of the whole tabbed dialog starts at the position of Tab_Loop(0).
- The size of all sheets will have the size of Tab_Sheet(0).
-
-
- Much fun.
