==== Creating a Tab control ====

The word //tab// has several meanings. Some are:
  * a Tab (or tabbed) control
  * a tab of a tab control
  * the lowly <key>Tab</key> 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:
  - Click on the Tab control icon in the Palette
  - In the Design Area, drag and drop to define the area for the Tab control

To add a Page to a Tab control:
  - Click on the Tab control in Object Treeview to select it
  - With the cursor still over the Tab control in Object Treeview, right-click
  - 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:
  - Click on the Page in Object Treeview to select it
  - 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 <key>Del</key> 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 <key>A-Left</key> key. To move it to the right, select the Page and press the <key>A-Right</key> key.

To change which page shows when the generated script is run, select the control and press either the <key>A-Left</key> key or the <key>A-Right</key> key until controls on the desired Page are shown.

AutoIt limits Tab controls to one per Form.
