Userform Multipage User Control Lock

**gsurge** · 05-23-2011, 08:53 AM

Hello,

I have created a multipage userform in VB 6.5 and was wondering how to prevent the user from advancing through the form by simply selecting the tab. In other words, I would like to force them to use the "Next" and "Previous" buttons i have created to navigate the pages. Currently, they are able to skip through by selecting the tabs at the top.

Thanks!

You could simply hide the tabs?

I do not want to hide the tabs. I want the user to see the various sections of the form, but only be able to reach them through the coded "Next" button i have created. I simply want to disable the selection of the tab itself.

If you hide the tabs, you can replace them with labels if you wish. I do not know of any way to disable the tabs themselves.

could you please guide me through that process?

Set the Style property of the multipage to 2 to hide the tabs, then draw labels above the control with the relevant caption for each tab. You can use the Change event of the control to show/hide the labels, or make one's font bold etc.
