The
Exontrol ExTab component is a skin based TAB control. A tab control is
analogous to the dividers in a notebook or the labels in a file cabinet. By
using a tab control, an application can define multiple pages for the same
area of a form or dialog box. Each page consists of a certain type of
information or a group of controls that the application displays when the user
selects the corresponding tab. The Exontrol Tab component supports the
