The PageControl component provides multiple pages on which any of the other major components can be placed to provide a compact and flexible environment for developing applications. It comes second on the Win32 palette but it might be better studied last as it is at its best when the developer has as many controls as possible to place on it to provide functionality for the user.
It should probably be used in situations where a number of user requirements and operations have to compressed into a small space. The idea of a general-purpose 'assistant' is a popular one with functionality such as e-mail, text editing and appointments (such as MS Outlook) or more specialised applications for any user who requires this sort of concentrated facility.
To add pages to the control right-click the control and choose New Page. Options at this point also include Next Page and Previous Page.
