    So I have been using the custom button for forms and the tabbed navigation and really like the feature. But for a rapid development of forms for a site we need to show some of the forms using the default buttons and having those buttons switch between views in the read only version of the form for a SharePoint 2010 list. I am not finding where the control is to allow these buttons like I can with the custom image buttons. thanks.

    Hi, Can you clarify the question? Are you saying that you can't get the buttons to work in read-only views? Thanks, Laura Harrington

    I can get the custom button to work in read only just fine. it is the OOB button that doesn't show up in the read only views.

    The option to show or hide buttons in read-only views is only available for picture buttons. We do no support this for regular button controls.

    Could you tell me where you got the images for the Tabs? I know you say "Internet Explorer" but are there local .pngs or .jpg that can be modified or did you take screen captures of the images?

    I took a screen shot for this demo. Another popular tab style I've seen is the OneNote tab (again, screen shot would be the easiest way to get that). Thanks, Charlie Han

    Can the tabbed navigation be used for displaying a subset of the fields that are in a form?  For instance, for a personnel form there are data fields for the person's health and for the person's interests.  Can tabs be created for health and for interests?
