It's possible in general, but not in the current ooDialog.

Tab controls support an image in the tab. If you look at the propdemo.rex example in 4.1.0, which is the PropertySheetDemo.rex in 4.2.0, for the tab page, you'll see I have added images to all the tabs. To give the user a visual clue when changing tabs, you could change the image for the tab selected. Or something similar. Then you are just limited by how creative you are in making images. A general idea would be: say you have 6 tabs. You could create an image list of 12 images. 6 are the normal images for each tab, 6 are the selected images. When a tab is selected, you switch the normal image with the selected image for that tab. For the tab losing the focus, you switch it back to the normal image. Or some variation of the above. -- Mark Miesfeld ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The ultimate all-in-one performance toolkit: Intel(R) Parallel Studio XE: Pinpoint memory and threading errors before they happen.
