Tabs/Property Page etiquette
-
We know that many things in code are possible, but that doesn't mean you have to code something horrendous. To me, having an option on a property page control the "spawning" of additional property pages (Tabs) is just rediculous (what makes it worse is that it creates an error when repeated or simply trying to use.) Are there some good design resources or user interface style practices (on the Net or book form) that I can share with my clueless collegue? Much thanks before I explode in anger. JJM

awk! I saw the Microsoft site, but aren't these the same people who created the horrible interfaces that are cited in the "How not to create an interface" links found on the Net? Yes, the MS site had some good suggestions. Thank you. JohnJohn
