Assign a Control Tip, Caption, or Accelerator Key to a Page or Tab

  • Article

This procedure sets properties on a Page or Tab in a MultiPage or TabStrip control only.

  1. In the Forms Designer, select a page or tab in a MultiPage or TabStrip control. For more information, see How to: Select and Edit a Control Within a Group and How to: Assign a Control Tip, Caption, or Accelerator Key to a Control.

Note Be sure to select an individual page or tab, and not the corresponding MultiPage or TabStrip. When you select a page or tab, a rectangle appears around its caption. 2. Right-click the caption of the selected page or tab, and then click Rename.

  1. In the Control Tip Text box, type the text that you want to use as the control tip.

  2. In the Caption box, type the text that you want to use as the caption.

  3. In the Accelerator Key box, type a single character from the caption of the control. Note that the selected character is underlined in the control caption.

Tip To assign a control tip for a MultiPage or TabStrip, use the ControlTipText property. If you assign a control tip to a MultiPage or a TabStrip, control tips for the individual page or tab objects within the MultiPage don't appear.

For more information about the ControlTipText property to set for a specific control, see:
