Style Property Example for MultiPage and TabStrip

The following example uses the Style property to specify the appearance of the tabs in MultiPage and TabStrip. This example also demonstrates using a Label. The user chooses a style by selecting an OptionButton.

To use this example, copy this sample code to the Script Editor of a form. To run the code you need to open the form so the Open event will activate. Make sure that the form contains:

• A Label named Label1.
• Three OptionButton controls named OptionButton1 through OptionButton3.
• A MultiPage named MultiPage1.
• A TabStrip named TabStrip1.
• Any control inside the TabStrip.
• Any control in each page of the MultiPage.

Sub OptionButton1_Click()
    Set MultiPage1 = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages("P.2").Controls("MultiPage1")
    Set TabStrip1 = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages("P.2").Controls("TabStrip1")
    MultiPage1.Style = 0        '0=fmTabStyleTabs
    TabStrip1.Style = 0        '0=fmTabStyleTabs
End Sub

Sub OptionButton2_Click()
    'Note that the page borders are invisible
    Set MultiPage1 = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages("P.2").Controls("MultiPage1")
    Set TabStrip1 = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages("P.2").Controls("TabStrip1")
    MultiPage1.Style = 1        '1=fmTabStyleButtons
    TabStrip1.Style = 1        '1=fmTabStyleButtons
End Sub

Sub OptionButton3_Click()
    'Note that the page borders are invisible and
    'the page body begins where the tabs normally appear.
    Set MultiPage1 = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages("P.2").Controls("MultiPage1")
    Set TabStrip1 = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages("P.2").Controls("TabStrip1")
    MultiPage1.Style = 2        '2=fmTabStyleNone
    TabStrip1.Style = 2        '2=fmTabStyleNone
End Sub

Sub Item_Open()
    Set Label1 = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages("P.2").Controls("Label1")
    Set OptionButton1 = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages("P.2").Controls("OptionButton1")
    Set OptionButton2 = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages("P.2").Controls("OptionButton2")
    Set OptionButton3 = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages("P.2").Controls("OptionButton3")
    Set MultiPage1 = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages("P.2").Controls("MultiPage1")
    Set TabStrip1 = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages("P.2").Controls("TabStrip1")

    Label1.Caption = "Page/Tab Style"
    OptionButton1.Caption = "Tabs"
    OptionButton1.Value = True
    MultiPage1.Style = 0        '0=fmTabStyleTabs
    TabStrip1.Style = 0        '0=fmTabStyleTabs
    
    OptionButton2.Caption = "Buttons"
    OptionButton3.Caption = "No Tabs or Buttons"
End Sub
