Tabstrip Tabs Width
I'm using a Tabstrip control.
I would like to position a textbox just to the right of the rightmost visible tab. Since the number and width of those tabs will vary, I need a way to figure out the current width of all visible tabs. Is this possible? Thanks. Darren |

Tabstrip Tabs Width
Darren,
You could force the width to be a standard by using the TabFixedWidth property. Or just put the textbox on the userform in a consistent location. Or use the Contril Tip Text of the tab to contain your text. HTH, Bernie MS Excel MVP "Darren Hill" wrote in message ... I'm using a Tabstrip control.

Tabstrip Tabs Width
Try adding all the tab captions to a hidden textbox, font same as the
tabstrip and its Autosize property true. Will also need to add a bit of padding for each tab and deduct a bit of padding in the textbox. If you play around should get it pretty close. newLeft = tabstrip1.left + textbox1.width Regards, Peter T "Darren Hill" wrote in message ... I'm using a Tabstrip control.

Tabstrip Tabs Width
I've Hi, Bernie.
I've tried fiddling around with the TabFixedWidth property but I must be doing something wrong - as all but one of my tabs vanish when I use it. Can you give a simple example of using the tabfixedwidth ? I can't use the Control Tip, because the text box allows data entry. Thanks for the suggestions, though.

Oh, that looks like something I can do.
Thanks for the suggestion, Peter. I'll start experimenting. Darren Peter T wrote: Try adding all the tab captions to a hidden textbox, font same as the tabstrip and its Autosize property true.

Tabstrip Tabs Width
Darren,
Create a new userform, insert a tab strip, and then use the code below in the userform's module. Each click on the userform will increase the tabwidth, and a double-click will reset it. See what happens.... HTH, Bernie MS Excel MVP Private Sub UserForm_Click() UserForm1.TabStrip1.TabFixedWidth = UserForm1.TabStrip1.TabFixedWidth + 20 End Sub Private Sub UserForm_DblClick(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean) UserForm1.TabStrip1.TabFixedWidth = 20 End Sub Private Sub UserForm_Initialize() Dim i As Integer i = 1 With Me .Width = 500 .Height = 500 With .TabStrip1 While .Tabs.Count < 5 .Tabs.Add "New tab" & i i = i + 1 Wend .MultiRow = True .Width = 400 .Height = 400 .TabFixedWidth = 20 .Left = 50 .Top = 50 End With End With End Sub "Darren Hill" wrote in message ...

Tabstrip Tabs Width
Thanks for the code.
I was a bit confused at first, since the double click seems to be a bit sensitive on my set up. I thought I was just single clicking, which had me examining you code to find what was causing the unpredictable return to starting conditions. Oops :) But I understand now. Thanks again.
