Tab Control Layout

[brzfan2]

How do you make a layout with tabs across the top or section? I have seen this in many same files but I don't know how to do this. Is this a plug-in you can get?

Brzfan:

The tab control system is actually fairly simple. Each tab is really just a button which (at the simplest level) is defined to Go To Layout [destination layout]; each layout has identical tabs, so it appears that you're moving around, but you're not. Of course, in each layout you can have the current tab appear highlighted by simply changing the tab's color for that particular layout. To make the buttons appear to be tabs, you can draw whatever you want it all to look like in a drawing app then paste the drawing into your layout and superimpose the buttons invisibly.

Thank you. I really didn't think of that idea.
