Tab Controls and embedded applications

Ross Boylan
The GUI Developer's Guide describes how to change interfaces--literally,
specs--if you change tabs.  However, I would like to have a different
(embedded) application associated with each tab.  Is there a good way to
do that?

The protocol for the tab control resembles that for subcanvas, and I
tried imitating the steps there to swap applications.  It didn't work.

An old message on this list suggested sticking a subcanvas in front of
the tab control (so the tabs are visible but not the body) and hooking
it into the tab selection.  That's working for me.

I also assume I could make an interface spec with a subcanvas and
associate that with the tabs (the same for each one); that also seems
undesirably messy.

Thanks for any thoughts you have on this.
Ross Boylan
