Several AXD dialogs and property sheets use tabbed pages. These enable displays that contain a large number of data entry fields, control buttons, check boxes, and radio buttons to be presented in parts.

Although you view only one page at a time, the tabs of all the pages are visible. Click on any tab to bring its page to the front of the display. You can switch between tabbed pages as often as you like while making settings or entering data.

You can consider all the tabbed pages in a display to be parts of a single large display.

Any changes you make become effective only when you click the OK button or the Apply button. Click the Cancel button (or its equivalent) to abandon any changes made on all tabbed pages in the display.
