How to add a tabpanel to a form

Probably when you pressed the tabpanel button on the toolbar the first time you expected to add a pageframe control just as you would in VFP. However there is a big difference. In VFP you would add controls to empty pageframe pages but in Servoy you specify which forms you want to use in the tabpanel.

So in this walkthrough we will add a Listview form (grid-style) to an existing form by use of the tabpanel:

Create a Listview form as in this walkthrough
Press the tabpanel icon on the toolbar
From the dialog select the form you created in step 1 and press 'Ok'

Note: when selecting a form to use in the tabpanel, you can select related or unrelated forms. If you select an unrelated form all records will be shown, if you select a related form then only the child records are shown that are related to the parent record of the form to which the tabpanel was added.
