Hi!

I need a kind of menu in my application, but I don't know
what it's called. It's the type of menu you get if you
right click on your desktop, (at the top of the window),
and it have choices like Background, Screen Saver,
Apparance and so on. It lokks a bit like this:
_____________ ________________ _____________
| Background | Screen Saver | Apparance |
| '----------------'-------------|
| |

What is this type of menu called?
Where can I read on how to implement it??

best regards,
Andreas Lundgren
 
Andreas,
I think what you mean is a seperate form with a fixed size and place.
That you place standard in the left or right corner of your screen.

TabControl + TabPages.

You will find the control in the toolbox.
 
No, not at all.
If you for example right click on you desktop, you'll get
the menu I was talking about. If you click
on "Background", your form gets one layout. If you click
on "Apparence" you'll get a second layout. This "peaces"
with the words "Background" on that you can click on, is a
partof this menu. I whant to infer such a menu in my
program.

The TabControl should be in the toolbox.
 
Andreas,
I think that you mean, "contextmenu" that starts a new form with a tabpage
on it what Herfried told you?

Hi Cor, he's actually talking about the TabControl.
