Hi
I have impemented dynamic tab controls. Where i can add and
delete tabs on fly.
Now the problem, when i add more no. of tabs to TabsControl then
tabscontrol goes out of window. where it should not be. I have tried to
use properties of TabsControl->LView->Horizontabl scrolling position
and unit also, but it didn't work.
I tried to attach LActiveScroller with tabscontrol, but it also
doesn't work at all. Please let me know how should i attach scroller to
LTabsContro to handle no. of tabs.

Thanks in advance.
Neel

Don't.

If you have so many tabs that you need them to scroll, then you
shouldn't be using a LTabsControl.

If you don't want to think too hard put your content in a
LMultiPanelView, then you can use a LPopupButton to control it, or a
single selection LTableView inside a LScrollerView, like the preferences
dialog box in XCode. (or, for that matter, like the preferences dialog
box in CodeWarrior IDE.)

ideally, you'd rethink your entire application.

Does the user really need to see such an overwhelming collection of
choices?

Look at your program from the point of view of a user trying to get
something done, or from the point of view of someone trying to configure
the application to create a workflow, where someone will be repeatedly
doing a set of similar tasks.
