The idea of GridTabControl is to provide the Excel-like workbook interface to the application developers and end-users. The main differences between the GridTabControl and .NET Framework's TabControl class (besides the MS Excel look) is that TabControl can contain only objects of TabPage class as tab items. The GridTabControl, although designed mainly as a container for GridControl-derived objects (including DBBrowserGrid), can also contain objects of any Control-derived class.
The functionality of the control is simple. After creating the control, you can call InsertTab to insert several tabs, or, at design time, you can drop the GridTabControl on the form, and then drop any other controls on its surface. For each control dropped on the GridTabControl's surface, a new tab is created.
You can click the scrolling buttons on the left side to scroll the display of tabs to the left or right by one tab. To select a sheet, click on the tab. The clicked tab is highlighted, and the control associated with it becomes visible and activated.
By double-clicking a tab, you can switch to editing mode and edit the text associated with the tab. The size of the tab is adjusted to fit the text dynamically during your input.
