How do I make a form use XP style "tabs" in VB 6.0? For an example, right click on My computer (from the start menu) and look at the "System Properties" dialog. There is one form with several tabs, each containing more information.

I can't seem to find a tool in the standard set that will allow me to do that. Is there a third party addition or some other way of doing it?

Without buying a 3rd party dll, you'd have to subclass the System.Windows.Forms.TabPage object and override most if not all of the drawing methods. Then use your sublcassed TabPages with the TabControl object.

If you do this, you could add it to www.sourceforge.net and possibly get help with it.
