I do this all the time with buttons (such as Close, Help, etc). Just place the control on the form (not on the tab control) and bring the control to the front (or set ZOrder 0 in code).


What if the controls i want to show are on the top of the tab control?

I'll try ijwelch's solution and let you know. Any further help is appreciated.

Thanks for your time guys!

Beg to differ:)

Place the controls you want on the first tab. Then in the BeforeItemClick event get hWnd of the TabControlPage for the Item parameter. Then call SetParent API for the controls to move them. Like this:

Private Declare Function SetParent _
                Lib "user32" (ByVal hWndChild As Long, _
                              ByVal hWndNewParent As Long) As Long


Private Sub Tab1_BeforeItemClick(ByVal Item As XtremeSuiteControls.ITabControlItem, _
                                 Cancel As Variant)

   Dim hParent As Long

   Select Case Item.Index
       Case 0
           hParent = TabControlPage1.hWnd
       Case 1
           hParent = TabControlPage2.hWnd
       Case 2
           hParent = TabControlPage3.hWnd
   End Select

   SetParent fraDailyFrequency.hWnd, hParent
   SetParent fraDuration.hWnd, hParent
End Sub

Hello all, first of all thank you for the great product you provide!

I wanted to ask this community (and maybe the authors) if there is a way to show something in all the TabControlPages inside a TabControl.

For example a textbox, can i show it inside the tabcontrol and in all pages?

The only solution i found so far was a flat picturebox (with the controls inside) put in the position i wanted the controls to be showed in all the tabs. But it doesn't support transparency. So the result is bad.

Thank you for your time,
Alex
