Tab Control problem

I want to use Event Procedure when pressing specific page tab on the form.
Page exposes events: click, dblclick, etc. I put MsgBox “OK†into click event
procedure code, but that event is not fired when clicking on page tab, why?
Tab control event procedure works: it fires when click on tab Control. But
tab control is not activated automatically when pressing on specific page
tab.
So, how to activate event procedure when clicking on page tab?
Thanks in advance for help

Use the Change event of the entire TabControl and in your code determine which
page was selected by testing the value property of the TabControl (0 = page1, 1
= page2, etc.).
 
That is the problem:how to fire Tab Control Event? The user switches the page
of the form by pressing page tab, not tab control. How to activate tab
control each time page is activated.

When they change pages the Change event of the control fires.
 
There appears to be a native On Click event for each tab, does this not work?

The Click event is pretty useless: it responds to a mouseclick *on the
face of the tab page*.

The event to detect the user selecting a tab is the Tab Control's
Change event.

Thanks John

and would we use the control change event like;

If Me.ctrlTabControl.Pages.Count = 1 Then
DoSomething (when 2nd tab is clicked)
End If

??

Well... not especially.

Private Sub ctrlTabControl_Change()
Select Case ctrlTabControl.Value ' which page was selected
Case 0 ' first page, it's the zero-based Index property of the tab
<do something>
Case 1 ' second page
<do something else>
...
End Select
