Abstract
Methods and systems for configuring a tab in a tab control are described. An application creates the tab control, and the user is presented with a tab control including multiple tabs. At least one special tab includes a text label that suggests it can be user defined, such as “Other.” When the user presses this tab, the tab shows a pressed state momentarily and then morphs into a text field. The user can then type in text, and the text is recorded for that tab. If the user decides that he or she wants to change the text in the special tab, the user can select the special tab again to enter new text.
