I just want tabs, without any visible panel. How do I achieve this in RR?

Thanks.

In the property inspector, you could adjust the size of the tab panel so the height = 22. The tabs will show, but not the panel. Is this what you mean?

Thanks Mark. Almost, but not quite. The panel is still visible to the left and right of the tabs. So I reduce the width of the panel as much as possible to hide it. But, no matter how much I reduce the width, a small portion of the panel always appears to the left of the first tab.

If I'm going to use the tab panel object provided, then evidently my only option is to create a paint/bitmap object and color over that excess portion of panel to match the background. I'll have to adjust the position of this mask on resize as well.

The whole thing is turning out to be a nasty kludge.

What grinds me is that the Run/Edit button on the main toolbar seems to be exactly what I'm looking for. Apparently the Runtime people have access to some special controls they are not providing to the masses.

Dear Leximatica,

Those special controls are buttons with icons. You can do the same with a custom tab button. If you send me an e-mail, I'll send you an example.

Best,

Mark
