SYMPTOMS
In the Value Property Help topic in the Microsoft Forms Reference, the TabStrip control is missing from the list of controls in the Settings table. The TabStrip control has a Value Property and should be included in this list.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.



Controls That Use the Value Property
The Value property specifies the state or content of a given control. The following list of controls have the Value property:

CheckBox

ComboBox

ListBox

MultiPage

OptionButton

ScrollBar

SpinButton

TabStrip

TextBox

ToggleButton

The Value Property Help topic lists all of the controls except the TabStrip control, and describes how to use the Value Property with each control.

Using the Value Property with the TabStrip Control
Microsoft provides programming examples for illustration only, without warranty either expressed or implied. This includes, but is not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language that is being demonstrated and with the tools that are used to create and to debug procedures. Microsoft support engineers can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific requirements. When you use the TabStrip control, the Value Property returns the index of the active tab on the TabStrip control. For example, to display the index of the active tab, use the following statement:

MsgBox TabStrip1.Value

You can also set the Value Property to activate a specific tab on the TabStrip control. For example, to make the second tab of a TabStrip control active, use the following statement: TabStrip1.Value = 1 NOTE: On a TabStrip control, the first tab has an index value of zero (0), the second tab has a value of one (1), and so on.
