'Sometimes, you may have controls that you want to remain visible on
the form, regardless of which tab page is selected — for example, OK
and Cancel command buttons. One way to do this is to place the
controls on the form, but outside of the tab control. Alternatively,
you can make a control available to all pages, while still appearing
to be contained within the tab control. To do this, create the
control outside of the tab control (for example, in the Detail
section), and then drag and drop the control inside the boundaries of
the tab control. The control will appear to be contained in the tab
control, but will remain visible and available to all tab pages,
regardless of which one is selected.'
Is there any way to turn this feature *off*, so that I can copy groups
of controls on a form and paste them onto a tab in a new form
*without* their showing through on all the pages?  Or do I have to
recreate them all by hand?

To put *existing* controls onto TabPages you have to Cut them to the clipboard, select the desired page, and then Paste. Only *new* controls can be put onto pages using Drag and Drop.


Yeah, I understand that. But my problem is that I'm copying and pasting things onto Tab Pages and they're showing through on ALL the tabs. I only want them to appear on the tab onto which I've pasted them .
