How to: Display the Number of Pages and Tabs in MultiPage and TabStrip Controls on a Form

Outlook Developer Reference

The following example displays the Count property of the Microsoft Forms 2.0 Controls collection for the form, and the Count property identifying the number of pages and tabs of each MultiPage and TabStrip.

To use this example, copy this sample code to the Script Editor of a form. To run the code you need to open the form so the Open event will activate. The form can contain any number of controls, with the following restrictions:

  • Names of MultiPage controls must start with "MultiPage".
  • Names of TabStrip controls must start with "TabStrip".

You can add pages to a MultiPage or add tabs to a TabStrip while in design mode. Double-click on the control, then right click in the tab area of the control and choose New Page from the shortcut menu.
