Proceeding:
-----------

You need THREED.VBX (VB Pro-Edition 3.0).

If you want to integrate a form with PerfectTAB into your application, you just have 
to do a few steps:

	1. Add PERFTAB.BAS to your project
	2. Add NEWTAB.FRM to your project instead of "File->New form"

Each level of the tabbed dialog contains three controls:

	1. Tab_Sheet() - (SSPanel)
	2. Tab_Loop()  - (PictureBox)
        3. Tab_Label() - (Label as a sub-control in Tab_Loop)

NEWTAB.FRM is predefined with 5 levels, index 0 to 4. If you donīt need all the five
levels, f.e. you need only three, just must delete Tab_Sheet(3-4) and Tab_Loop(3-4).
Thats all. If you need more levels, you can copy Tab_Sheet() and Tab_Loop() to get a
furhter level. 

Some properties can be set at the Form_Load procedure, but are not needed in any case.
If you want to design own styles, you can do it with Paintbrush or any other pixel-oriented
drawing-program. A loop-picture can have each size you want, but itīs important, that
the picture for the active-loop has the same size as the picture for the inactive-loop.

To change the style at design time, you have to change the picture-properties of 
Tab_Loop_Picture(0-1). 
PerfectTAB comes also with four predesigned styles. You can try them if you load the
included .BMP files to Tab_Loop_Picture().

The position of the whole tabbed dialog starts at the position of Tab_Loop(0).
The size of all sheets will have the size of Tab_Sheet(0).


Much fun.
