The following table lists the common properties, events, and methods of the NoteBook class:

Description

The NoteBook object combines aspects of the Form, Container, and TabBox objects. It’s a multi-page control, like the Form; it acts as a container, and it has tabs, although they’re on top. Selecting a tab automatically changes the page of the notebook to display the controls assigned to that page. The notebook’s pageno property indicates which page of the form the notebook is in. The notebook’s curSel property indicates the current page the notebook is displaying.

When the Notebook's enabled property is set to "false", the enabled properties of all contained controls are likewise set to "false". When the Notebook's enabled property is set to "true", the enabled properties of the contained controls regain their individual settings.
