How to use tabstrip in VB6? - tabs

I searched about tabs in VB6 over and over, but I couldn't find anyway. How I can replace buttons and other thing in which tab?
Private Sub TabStrip1_Click()

Here I found the answer. All objects in each tab must be in one frame and each frame must be for a special tab.

Start a new project
Add a new form from availables templates: choose the Options window template
Now you have a form frmOptions which contains a TabStrip named tbsOptions, complete of code to manage the tabs using the Click event.

Access: change subform based on button press

Im pretty new to programming for MS Access and Visual basic. I'm trying to create a form that will change what the subform is based on a toggled option press.
I have attached pictures of the simple form I'm trying to do and gotten some code off tutorial sites that have shown an example of how to do it but I'm not sure if I should have the subforms pre-created or make the button load the form when clicked.
Option Compare Database
Private Sub Option0_Click()
End Sub
Private Sub Toggle11_GotFocus()
Form1!Testform1.SetFocus
End Sub
Private Sub Toggle12_GotFocus()
Form1!Testform2.SetFocus
End Sub
I know this code isn't all that's needed but I can't seem to find a good place to start to find out what needs to be done with this.
Newer versions of Access seem to hide subform tabs when you open a form, but there is a tab stop property for the childforms. I set the property for that to yes and then for one of the child forms to set the tab index to 0 and the other to 1. You can toggle between the forms using Ctrl Tab when you do this. If the Child Form tabs are not visible when you open the main form, Ctrl Tab will also make them visible allowing you to click on the tabs.

ms access button on a form not working

I have a database with many forms, when I added a button with an onClick event to one of them it just doesn't work. The onClick event code is very simple:
Private Sub button_Click()
DoCmd.Close
End Sub
Doesn't matter how I click it, the event is not firing. I put a break point in front of the sub, and realized that when I clicked the button the event is not even firing. I create buttons in other forms they work fine, its just this one specific form that doesn't work.
I did some testing, and realized that when I make the form into a split form, the button stops working.
Any Idea why?
Thanks
Nvm..it seems like there has to be at least one field in the split form for the button to work. Did not know that before
Then maybe the function is not linked to the button.
did you checked that in the button properties "on click" has the vba function linked?
the buttom name and the function im vba are the same? "Button"?
The Command Button Wizard create a command button that performs a specific task. In an Access (.accdb) file, the wizard creates a macro that is embedded in the OnClick property of the command button. In an .mdb or .adp file, the wizard creates VBA code, because embedded macros are not available in those file formats.
This might not be quite relevant to your question but might help someone else in the future where an event is not firing....I had a similar issue in an Excel form where an event was supposed to happen when I click a button...I deleted the button and added it again and it worked...could be a bug or a file corruption...try deleting then adding the control again.

Setting focus on a sub form

I have two sub forms embedded in control (the one that looks like a set of folders allowing you to change from tab to tab.. Sorry I don't know the name in English)..
Both sub forms are embedded on one sheet, I would like that immediately after executing a routine, I wrote on one of the subforms, that the set focus then goes to the other sub form.
For some strange reason I can't get it to work. The sub form and field I'm trying to go to are frmObjectives03 and Effective_date.
I tried:
Forms!frmObjectives03!Effective_date.Form.SetFocus
but it doesn't work.
I would appreciate any insight.
Thank you,
The control you speak of is a Tab control.
Because frmOjective03 is opened as a subform, it is not part of the Forms collection. Instead you can use Forms!MainForm!frmObjectives03.Form!Effective_date.SetFocus from anywhere, or Me!frmObjectives03.Form!Effective_date.SetFocus from within the main form or Me.Parent.Form!frmObjectives03.Form!Effective_date.SetFocus from the sibling subform.
If these are not working for you, please check the name of the subform control in your main form (because it may be Child17 instead of frmOjective03). Open the main form in design view, click on the subform ONCE and look in the Properties->Other->name.

Run VBA code whenever a tabbed form is reselected in Access

EDIT: For clarification, I'm talking in the below post about tabbed document browsing, not a Tab Control. However, if you're looking for roughly the same problem but regarding a Tab Control, Gord Thompson's answer is correct. Two answers for the price of one!
I've got an Access 2007 database that uses tabbed documents. I need to run some VBA code every time a user selects the form called "Reports", either via opening it or clicking on its tab if it's already open.
I could achieve much the same thing by closing it each time it's used and running the code on an OnLoad event, but ideally I'd like to keep it open so that users can keep the settings of the various drop down boxes, radio boxes etc that they've already set on "Reports".
I was hoping for an event that could run code on tab reselection, but neither of my guesses (OnCurrent and GotFocus) seem to work (OnCurrent works only when the form is opened, like OnLoad would).
Any ideas greatly appreciated - can't find what I'm looking for on Google, though I suspect that's because I don't know exactly what I'm looking for.
The .Value property of a TabControl returns the index (zero-based) of the current page. So, if I have a TabControl named TabCtl14 that contains two pages, FirstPage and SecondPage, then the code...
Private Sub TabCtl14_Click()
If Me.TabCtl14.Value = 1 Then
MsgBox "SecondPage was clicked."
End If
End Sub
...displays the MsgBox whenever I click the "SecondPage" tab in the TabControl.
Have found the answer I was looking for. It's the OnActivate event.

How to remove actionPerformed methods in NetBeans

When a JButton is added to a content pane, we can set an action by double clicking the button or Right click->Event->Action->actionPerformed.Let say, we set somthing to happen. Then we need to remove that function.It can be done easily by deleting the code we wrote in that buttton's actionPerformed. But the problem is, that button's actionPerformed method is still there even though it is not used any more and not needed.
private void jButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
//no function here.. but this code is still remaining. need to remove this code part as well
}
How can it be removed? I got the JButton for an example. Other components'action methods are like this.
Go to your JButton properties, Choose "Events", actionPerformed and choose "none" from the adjacent combobox. Your source code is cleaned!
Recent versions of Netbeans like 7.3, do not offer "none" as an option, but allow you to delete the actionPerformed method by deleting the name of the method or by pressing 1, 2 and 3 buttons:
If the button that the action was registered to is no longer in the form (this happened to me after I manually replaced the .form file with a previous backup) then you wont be able to do Costis Aivalis's solution. In this case you can open the .java file with another text editor and delete the event handler there.
In the latest version of netbeans click the button with the 3 periods [...] just to the right ov the combo box and a new control listing the handlers is displayed. Select the one to remove and press the [Remove] button.
Identify your .java file, then close Netbeans and edit your file directly from a text editor.
