The default Multi Layout Region does not offer the Tab Control option. The navigation elements need to be created manually using actions. This type of Multi Layout Region is especially used if you don't want to have navigation elements on the Multi Layout Region.
To create navigation elements for the default Multi Layout Region:
In Page View, select the default Multi Layout Region tool from the Standard toolbar.
Draw a box where you want to position the Multi Layout Region.
On the Multi Layout Region Properties Panel, click the "+" button on the Multi Layout section to add new Layout Regions.
Next, add objects to serve as navigation elements.
You can place text, draw a button using the Draw tool, or import an image using the Picture tool. For example, you can create the navigation elements using the Rectangle tool.
If you have set four Layout Regions in the default Multi Layout Region, you need to create four rectangles. You can name them: First, Previous, Next and Last.
Select one rectangle, for example Next.
On the Rectangle Properties panel, select the Actions tab.
Click the button "+" to add a new action. The Set Action dialog appears.
In the When field, select the Mouse > Clicked option.
In the Target field, select MultiLayoutRegion1 from the Object Tree window.
In the Message field, select Object > Switch To option.
In the Parameter(s) field, select the Values option. The Parameter Values dialog appears.
Select the Layer Id field to enable the Layout Regions combo box.
The Layout Regions combo box displays all the layout regions that have been added to the Multi Layout Region that is selected as target.
From the Combo box, select LayoutRegion2.
Click the Validate button.
Click the OK button to close the Parameter Values dialog.
Click the OK button to close the Set Action dialog.
Preview the page to test the results.
If you click the Next button, the Layout Region 2 will be displayed. Repeat the step above, setting new actions with the corresponding values for each layout region that is contained within the Multi Layout Region.
