SYMPTOMS
When placing the Microsoft Tabbed Dialog Control on a non-Visual Basic form, the design-time behavior is different than it is when the control is placed on a Visual Basic Form. Specifically, when a tab is clicked, any child controls on other tabs are still visible.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because the Microsoft Tabbed Dialog Control uses a private Visual Basic specific interface, IVBGetControl, to iterate through all the child controls on the form. The IVBGetControl interface is not documented and it is not available in containers other than Visual Basic.



RESOLUTION
Currently, there is no solution to using the same design time features of the Microsoft Tabbed Dialog Control outside of a Visual Basic form.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
