Syntax- drop down menu contents wanted
 

Could someone explain how to get the drop-down menu for this line ?

TabStrip1.Tabs(1).

Trying to see what's allowed. The only one found so far is caption.


Thanks - Kirk

I can't get intellisense to work either. But perhaps two things can help:

1. Put a breakpoint in your code, then add a watch on Tabstrip1.Tabs(1).
You will see the properties available on the Tab Object.

2. Search the VBA Help for "Tab Object", or, Click on the TabStrip Control,
click F1 and find your way to the Tab Object.

Kirk,
As I type the "(" in "TabStrip1.Tabs(", Intellisense comes up with
"Item(varg) As Object".
As it is the generic Object, the IDE has no way to know which properties,
methods etc are available.
If it had be declared "As SomeClass", then the Type Library could yield the
correct info.

That's my take anyway...

Kirk,

Open the Object Browser (F2), choose "MSForms" in the top dropdown and enter
"tabstrip" in the 2nd dropdown. Then in the lower left-hand box click on
"tab" and its properties will show in the lower-right hand box. At least,
it works that way in XL 2003.

hth,

Doug

Thanks Doug (and everyone). I got there :)

Looks like what I wanted isn't there. I'm using variable width tabs on
my tabstrip. The only way I can (see to) set a varying size it to use
strng$(xx,32) in the name.

It seemed a bit fudgy so I was hoping for a better method.
But it works.

Thanks - Kirk
