Copy between tabs

Post by Leesha »

Hi,
I am having to recreate a corrupt form. The form has a tab control on it with multiple tabs. Whenever I go to copy and paste, the pasted info shows on all of the tabs. Is there a way to do this so it only shows on the tab I am working on.
Thanks!

Before pasting, you have to select the tab you want to paste to. In the first screenshot below, the tab control as a whole is selected (wrong); in the second screenshot, a specific tab page is selected (right).

Hi Hans,
That was what I was doing, selecting the tab, right click and paste. I noticed that when I right click the tab the highlight (as you have pictured above) goes away and it pastes through all of the tabs. If I highlight the tab and instead of right clicking go to the ribbon tab and paste it works.
Thanks!

If I recall, you should not right click on the tab and then paste. You should first left click the tab, then right click in the body area of the tab page (inside the orange border in Hans's image), then paste. The fact that the ribbon paste worked is because you left clicked the tab before you pasted to start with.
