# Converting Conventional Dialog Boxes to be Tabbed

Perform the following steps to add tabs to an existing (untabbed) dialog box.

1 Create space for the tab area by selecting all controls using the “Edit/Select All” option them moving them into a saved area on the dialog box (move them down or to the right by a liberal amount.)

2 Drag a tab onto the dialog box from the mode palette. Resize the tab according to how much space it needs.

3 Move each control which must go onto this tab field from the saved area.

4 Repeat steps two and three until all tabs have been created and filled with controls.

5 Select each tab and use the “Edit/Properties” option to set the label on the tab, its icon, etc.
