The word tab has several meanings. Some are:

• a Tab (or tabbed) control
• a tab of a tab control
• the lowly Tab key.

Koda resolves this issue by calling a member of a Tab control a Page.

Adding a Tab control to a Form is like adding any other control:

1. Click on the Tab control icon in the Palette
2. In the Design Area, drag and drop to define the area for the Tab control

To add a Page to a Tab control:

1. Click on the Tab control in Object Treeview to select it
2. With the cursor still over the Tab control in Object Treeview, right-click
3. Choose New page. Object Treeview shows the Page as a child of the Tab control.

To add any other control to a Page:

• Click on it in the Palette
• Drag and drop in the Page. The control is added to the Page.

To delete a Page from a Tab control:

1. Click on the Page in Object Treeview to select it
2. With the cursor still over the Tab control in Object Treeview, right-click and choose Delete. Object Treeview shows that the Page has been deleted.

It is also possible to select a Page in the design area, but it takes a little care:

• If the Page is not on top, click on its Caption to select it
• Click in the lower part of the Page. The Page is selected.
• Press the Del key. The Page is deleted.

To select a Tab control as a whole, either:

• Click on it in Object Treeview, or
• In the design area, click within the Tab control but outside if the Pages.

A Page of a Tab control is a container. Even though it is not a control, it shares some behaviors with [container_control]]:

• Deleting a Page deletes all controls which are children of it as well as the Page
• A control may be visually within the bounds of a Page but not be its child
• To make a control created visually outside a Page part of the Page, cut the control and paste it within the Page
• The Left and Top properties of controls that are children of a Page are relative to the Page

To move a Page with a particular Caption to the left, select the Page and press the Alt+← key. To move it to the right, select the Page and press the Alt+→ key.

To change which page shows when the generated script is run, select the control and press either the Alt+← key or the Alt+→ key until controls on the desired Page are shown.

AutoIt limits Tab controls to one per Form.
