Are you looking for something similar to the dividers in a binder or filing cabinet?
If so, you'll have to add a new component type to your project,
open the project your working on and hit Ctrl+t to bring up the components window,
scroll down and check the box next to 'Microsoft Tabbed Dialog Control 6.0 (SP5)'.
Click apply and this will add a new SSTab component along with the comboboxes and stuff.
I've played with them a little in the past, but really don't know much about them,
each Tab is indexed and most other components contained on each tab can be refered to using the form name
and the component name itself. (No need to use a reference to which tab the component is on).
I don't know if it's a good idea to use them in an MS based project but I think this is what Elysium uses.
Oh and it uses the TABCTL32.OCX, this may come as standard with windows versions or you may need to add it
to your project and get your users to register it, I don't know.
I also like Rezeyu's idea... much simpler.
Hope this is of some help to ya.
