Iam using Tab Control,in order to save Space.Controls placed on the Tabs Vanish.Properties window shows their existence on the Form,But they do not appear on the Tabs.I had
checked the Tab control Properties.Everything looks normal.

Hi,

You have not mentioned which 'tab' control you are using?
If you are using Tab Strip that comes with Microsoft Common Controls collection ( with Listview & tree view etc) then this control is not a container. So the controls will not automatically change their positions. You have to write some code for it.

Also, set the Z-order of the Tabstrip to send it back, in code or in desing mode.

You can place your controls in other containers like Frame (prefered) or Picturebox (overkill) and manupulate them.

If you are using Sheradian Tab (SSTab), then it will work the same way in desing & run modes.

Hi Ravi,
Thank you for your prompt reply.
In fact I am using Sheradian Tab (SSTab)control and Tab strip,which
cannot be used for placing controls,since it is not a container control like
SSTab.
What exactly happening is,I am able to place Controls on the Tabs and write the required code etc,but all of a sudden they dissapear from the Tabs.Tabs are totally blank as if I had not placed any controls on them.
This may happen at any time.Sometimes the controls may last on the Tabs for day,week or a month.But one fine day,I don't see them at all.I have no clue as to why this is happening.
