Default Userform question

Hi David

From help:

Should I use a MultiPage or a TabStrip?
If you use a single layout for data, use a TabStrip and map each set of data
to its own Tab. If you need several layouts for data, use a MultiPage and
assign each layout to its own Page.

Unlike a Page of a MultiPage, the client region of a TabStrip is not a
separate form, but a portion of the form that contains the TabStrip. The
border of a TabStrip defines a region of the form that you can associate
with the tabs. When you place a control in the client region of a TabStrip,
you are adding a control to the form that contains the TabStrip.

Thank you all,

My userform contains 10 multipages, and each page will contain 40-50
textboxes at worst. Could I ask what the difference is between tabstrips
and multipages?

Hi David

There are definitely limits, and I believe that you'll be very close to
them. The first thing you'll notice is that after a while the VBE don't
recognize the new control, it's not in the dropdowns and intellisense

never
heard about it. Save, close, reopen may fix that. If not then you've
definitely reached the limit.

See if you can limit yourself to the amount of controls you see on

screen
at
the time, and re-use them for later tasks. If you use a tabstrip (tabs

only,
not as container) or previous-next-buttons then you can clear-refill

your
(say) 20 textboxes according to tab indexes or a counter value.

Hello,
I'm in the process of creating a multipage userform and the finished

form
will have about 300 textboxes and I was wondering whether this would

cause
any problems. ie is there a upper limit to the number of tb allowed on

a
single userform.

Thanks
David
