Re: App with forms as tabs

I'm sure it's the same in vb2005, in vb2003 you do :

dim myform as new frmToGoOnTab
frm.toplevel=false
tabpage1.controls.add(frm)
frm.dock=DockStyle.Fill ' Expands the form to fill the tabpage
frm.show

Marina: Unfortunately, that isn't really what I 'want' to do. I want to
convert an application I already coded over to this 'Visual Studio IDE'
type format. This app has 50 or so already coded forms - I really don't
want to try to convert EVERY one of those forms over to a user
control!! That would take awhile and probably cost too much for our
company to 'approve'.

Isn't there any way to display an already-created form in a tab? How
does the VS IDE do it?

I'd like to create a new VB 2005 app that looks like the VS 2005
IDE - in other words, an app that has multiple forms, but instead of
displaying them seperately or in an MDI main from, I'd rather
display them in tabs across the screen. I might have functions that
are available to the app in the tree view on the left, then as they
select functions it would open them in a new tab... again, almost
exactly as the VB IDE does.

My question therefore really is: Can we display Windows Forms forms
in tabs?
