I thought I read somewhere in the documentation that you can not have a multi-tab control that can contain multi-tabs inside it. Does anyone out there know if this the case.

Thank you for your replys.......

    Thank you, the answer I got from Acucorp is that they consider a tab control to be a container, and you can not have a container within a container, I also asked if was documented somewhere, and there response was no not really, nor is it documented that could do that, I thought that was a very creative response.

    I think I've done this before by having the tab control's height be short, so that the other tab control is not actually part of the container. I've definitely had more than one tab control on the screen at the same time.

    Your correct, as long as the second, third and so on tabs are NOT part of any container you certainly have multiple tab controls on 1 screen.

    We don't actually use tabs on top of tabs in our production code, but attached is a sample program that I think someone from AcuCorp gave me several years ago that has a tab control on top of a tab control.

    I don't think you can have a tab control on top of a tab control in the Acubench screen designer. But as the example shows, it seems like you should be able to hand code it.
