Controls tab appearance

Enumerated type, possible values are:

Default Default tab appearance
Invisible The tab control container itself is invisible but the embedded controls for the curent page remain visible. There is no user navigation and pages have to be switched under program control. This is convenient in the case where, depending on the state of a form, certain sets of controls may appear in the same place. This is particularly convenient at form design time
LikeGroup This is similar to invisible, except that a group box is drawn around the border of the tab control with the title taken from the title of the currently displayed tab page
Wizard This uses the pages of the tab control to form a wizard display. Two buttons appear at the bottom of the screen for "Back" and "Next" (the actual text will depend on the current locale). On the last page "Next" is replaced by "Finish" and the Finish() event will be triggered if this button is clicked. On the first page the "Back" button is disabled. On any page, the "Next" / "Finish" button can be disabled or re-enabled by using the DisableNext property

Applies to: Tabbed
