The Exontrol ExTab component is a SKIN based TAB control. A tab control is analogous to the dividers in a notebook or the labels in a file cabinet. By using a tab control, an application can define multiple pages for the same area of a form or dialog box. Each page consists of a certain type of information or a group of controls that the application displays when the user selects the corresponding tab. The Exontrol ExTab library includes two components: TabBuilder and Tab components. The TabBuilder component helps to edit, create skin tab files using a WYSWYG editor. The Tab control can use any skin file created using the TabBuilder component.
