Well in this case some of the logic would have to go to the container
(class which contains tabs and embedded property sheets) and you will
have to implement it. Maybe you could define a custom interface which
returns multiple property sources from edit parts and then assign these
different property sources to different tabs. Something like...

public interface IMultiPropertySource
{
  String[] getTabNames();

  IPropertySource[] getPropertySources();
}

Hello Krzysztof,

Thanks for the information. I will start looking into it right away. 
How will the edit-part control which tab to display a set of properties
in.
That is, I want some properties from the edit part to go to the first
tab and some properties to the second tab. 

regards
James
