Tabs are called Notebooks in the Tkinter

ttk library. The idea is that you set up a
parent Notebook and then add tabs to that
Notebook.

In yiour code from the previous lesson,

add the following line just after your
geometry line and before mainloop:

tab_parent = ttk.Notebook(form)

In between the round brackets of

Notebook, you need the name of a widget
that the notebook is going on. For us,
that's the main form. Our Notebook object
is being held in a variable we've called
tab_parent.

To set up a tab for your notebook, you

create Form objects with the name of a
Notebook between round brackets. Add
these two lines:

tab1 = ttk.Frame(tab_parent)
tab2 = ttk.Frame(tab_parent)

This sets up two tab objects called tab1

and tab2. We now need to add them to the
tab parent:

tab_parent.add(tab1, text="All
Records")
tab_parent.add(tab2, text="Add
New Record")

We're now using the add method of

tab_parent. In between the round rackets
of add, you need the name of the tab
object you want to add. After a comma,
we've added some text for the tab.

Finally, you need to pack the tab parent

and its tabs:

tab_parent.pack(expand=1,
!ll='both')

The expand and !ll option between pack

ensure that the tabs !ll the entire form.
Your code should look like this:

Run your program again. You should now

!nd that your form looks like this:

You can click your Add New Record tab to

activate it. You won't see much di"erence
as we haven't added any widgets to them.
Let's do that now.
