Assign a control tip, caption, and accelerator key to a page or tab

This procedure sets properties on a Page or Tab in a MultiPage or TabStrip control only.

1. In design time, select a page or tab in a MultiPage or TabStrip control.

   How?

   Be sure to select an individual page or tab, not the corresponding MultiPage or TabStrip. When a page or tab is selected, a rectangle appears around its caption.

2. Right-click the caption of the selected page or tab, and then click Rename on the shortcut menu.
   
   
3. In the Control Tip Text box, type the string you want to use as the control tip.
   
   
4. In the Caption box, type the string you want to use as the caption.
   
   
5. In the Accelerator Key box, type a single character. Use a character from the caption of the control. Note that the selected character is underlined in the control caption.

Tip

To assign a control tip for a MultiPage or TabStrip, use the ControlTipText property. If you assign a control tip to a MultiPage or a TabStrip, control tips for the individual page or tab objects within the MultiPage do not appear.
