Convert regular form to one with tabs?

[Chris.Ediger]

I have a tool that I'd like to convert to a tabbed form. Is there a way to import or copy over from my regular form to the tabbed form?

Just select all controls and copy to clipboard then paste onto the tab of choice.

You will have to separately copy the event code and manually reconnect the events.

An easier method is to make a copy of the form and just add a tab control and copy and paste on the same form. This sill not disturb the exisiting code and linkage.

I think I understand now

Make copy of PSF file to new name. Make form large enough to add a tab control away from all current controls. Select all controls but not tab. "Ctrl-X' to cut existing controls. Select client rea of tab. Be sure client are is selected and not just the tab. 'Ctrl-V' to paste cut controls. Move and resize tab control.

YOU now have all controls on a tab.
