after getting lost and making a thread in the legacy VB section (and looking like an idiot in the process) I'll try my luck here. I'm working on a work order and preventive maintenance tracking system and one thing in particular is throwing off my otherwise harmonius interface. The tab for "Preventive Maintenance" is too long! What I want to do is make it fit on 2 lines, however I can't find any way to do this. I would think it would be a simple setting of the width and then setting a word wrap control...but I'm either blind (good possiblity), stupid (feel like it after today), or just looking in the wrong places (I hope this is the answer)

PLEASE HELP!

thank you!

What kind of tabs are we talking about? Text tabbing for indentation, or a tab control.
I've never seen a tab control have a tab with more than one line.

This is what I am talking about, you'll notice that I increased the size of the tabs in hopes that when I set the width of the tab it would automatically wrap, however it simply IGNORES the width that I have set for the tab. And yes you are right I Have never seen a multiline one either but that doesn't mean they don't exist.

edit: and those are actually going to be buttoned tabs, but right now I Left them as actual tab controls instead of confusing people.

is multiline property set to true isn't an option to you?

the multiline property has nothing to do with the actual text on the tab, it applies to weather or not there can be multiple rows of tabs.
