Hi khadeer,

Table Controls and tabstrips are nothing but the way of representing data to the client or the user.

Table Controls are used when client want to see the data in tabular format.

And Tabstrip is a UI element in which each tab call a screen i.e. you associate each ta with a screen which contains UI elements representing the data to the client or the user.

I hope this might have clear your doubts.

Hi,

If user needs to display a bulk of data at a same time, then table control can be used to display data in a tabular manner, instead of displaying data in i/o fields one by one.

Also user can display, modify, add or delete from the internal table in a single go and also modify database table using the internal table.

And lots more a user can do...which entirely depends on the user requirement.

Similarly you can use tab strip to group control into tab-strips and navigate through these strips and interact with data, instead of using many control on a single screen.

Hope this helps you.

Regards,

Tarun

Table control is useful if u want to see a bulk amount of

data taht ti in a tabular format, by this u can have display of data

like u see in a table with rows and columns.

Also u can select some rows of the table contol and

u can do normal opeartion like inserting into table modify the entries

so on.....

Tabstrip is like a screen with multiple tabs where each tab can have some rele

vant data, like u can have in one tabstrip tab 1 as

employee general data, tab2 as employee past xp data,

tab3 as employee education details and so on..

so that which info u need u can go to that tab and

do waht u want to do. and u can feel like all related data in a single screen.
