Updates: vbAccelerator Visual Studio Style Tab Control

Update11 May 2003

  • Calling remove on a non-existent tab did not raise an error because the control ate it.
  • Inserting a tab did not work correctly since the existing tabs were not shuffled up.
  • If a tab with a panel was removed, and then added, then a subscript out of range error occurred.
  • Thanks to Michael Elashoff, Julien Margail and Matt Funnell

Update28 Mar 2003

  • Correction to colour selection logic; background colour of tabs now renders correctly under all colour schemes.
  • Numerous minor drawing (black pixels at end of tabs, pin and close icons not drawing, tab border not shown when tab off screen) and tab selection logic fixes.
  • Unpinned tab details now update correctly when any properties are changed; also the title of a pinned tab changes to follow the selected tab.

Update17 Feb 2003

  • Correct Font logic, so the control now resizes correctly for larger fonts.
  • Tooltips added to tabs are now correctly.
  • Added new Index property to the Tab object and a Clear method to the tab collection.

Update11 Feb 2003

  • A major functionality upgrade adds a pinnable mode to the control, so you can have Visual Studio-style slide-out tabs in any type of form
  • Added flicker-free drawing support for a smoother display.
  • Improved tab scrolling and selection logic.
  • Added Align support for ease of resizing and so the control can be used directly on MDI forms.
