[Quoted] Dear Luc,

         You could put a large enough tab canvas on a canvas in a window that
does support scroll bars, which is usually needed for other purposes anyway.
There is also a "vcr control to scroll tabs" that appears at the end of the tabs if there are too
many tabs to fit, but it's really ugly.

         If you reduce the amount of text in the tab labels and change the "width style"
to "variable" from "fixed" you might be able to fit more tabs without any scrolling.
Set "tab attachment edge" to "TOP" or "LEFT" depending on which way gives you
the maximum space for tabs.

Your users will thank you for avoiding the need to scroll at all.

MIke R.
