Raoshan,

If I were you I would create a form with on the right half a PageFrame with no tabs. If you move in the left half you just activate another page of the PageFrame. Each page then will have its own controls.

As to the left side, you could put a pageframe also with as many pages as the right pageframe, and force it a bit to just show the tabs (TabStretch = 0, and not very wide). Changing the activepage in the left frame would activate the same page number in the right

You will have to put a bit of logic in the FormResize() in order to resize/reposition the PageFrame (but that is not the hardest bit).
