Is there a way that I can change the text(description/title)
of a tabpage in a tab control? For ex: I have 2 tab pages.
One of the tabpage has 'Feature' defaulted @ design time.
when the window opens, based on a condition, i want to
change the title to show Feature or Sereis or Season.

I tried tab_title_element.tabpage_title_element.PageText =
ls_ProdType
But this gives a "Incompatible property" error.

Try the TabText property instead.

Theres no TabText property.
Anyway tried
"tab_title_element.tabpage_title_element.TabText =
ls_ProdType". Still giving the incompatible error.

What is tab_title_element.tabpage_title_element?

Userobjects and tabpage objects both have a TabText property.

Try the Text attribute instead of TabText.

On the Browser in the IDE there's a System tab that lets you explore
the attributes and methods attached to each object type. That's how I
looked this up.

Good luck,

Try the text property. However, perhaps a more OO approach is to
dynamically open a page that is appropriate for the purpose. Presumably,
there is some functional and graphical difference between "Feature" and
"Series" (sic?) and "Season". Therefore, would it not make more sense to
create your own user object for each "type" of page and create it / add it
to the tab when needed?
