Laying out a new tab

In standard applications, the information is contained in multiple tabs, including the List tab, the application main tab, and additional tabs as required.

Procedure

  1. Optional: To add a new tab, highlight the Tab Group control in the Application Designer and drag a Tab control to it from the Control Palette.
  2. Highlight this new tab control and drag a Section control to it from the Control Palette. Repeat this step if you want to create multiple sections that create vertical division in the tab.
    A section control is a container for other controls and is not visible in the application.
  3. Add section column controls to a section if you want to divide a section horizontally.
  4. After you create horizontal and vertical sections, you can add data controls, such as text boxes or buttons, within each section or section column.
