    tab control

    All, I have a tabcontrol Im using on a form. When I open the form; the tabs are not visible until I click in the form for the control and use the up arrows to see them. I've looked in the property settings and tried various things but no joy. Anyone have any suggestions please.


    thanks

    Sounds like the problem is running out of real estate. Form might be too big for screen display. Try to reduce sizes of controls (including the tab control), tighten up spacing.

    In addition to the Tabbed Control being too tall, the first Control in the Tab Order, which is to say the first Control to receive Focus, is probably located in the lower regions of the Form. Make sure that the first Control in Tab Order is in the upper, left-hand portion of the Form.
