Tab Strip: how to refresh tabs?

Part of visible tabs are covered by another control.
When resizing window that another control changes position but the tabs
which were covered by it are not refreshed (are not visble at all) after
Tabs.Refresh.
What else can I do?

What tab control are you using that has a Tabs.Refresh method? None that
come with VB6 do.

hmmm... hidden method maybe? Just tried again and no refresh method shows in
intellisense.

TabStrip1.Tabs. just gives me the usual Add/Clear/Count/Item/Remove items
showing in intellisense.

I'm assuming that the OP has a Tabstrip control named "Tabs" so

Tabs.Refresh

not

Tabstrip1.Tabs.Refresh

Try the following(it may or may not work):

- Click on the TabStrip control.
- Go to Format|Order|Bring to Front.

Your other option is to fix the resize routine...

MS Tabs are rubbish and the SuperSoft (ssTab) that MS distribute is
pretty cr*ppy.

The way I avoided the dread overhead of an OCX and the nightmare of
workarounds for NMH utilities is :

www.jerryfrench.co.uk/etabsim.htm

A pure VB UserControl that just paints the tabs on the face of the
UserControl

No OCX - and you can modify the source as much as you like

My tip is host the 'pages' on UserControls or Frames
- Frames are really fast for swapping
