Hi there.
What you most probably experience is the "feature" in builder which
makes the visual components dissappears when you have a data module
selected. This is apparently because you aren't supposed to be able
to add visual components inside data modules, so the visual
components dissappears from the tabs, and since the tabs are emptied
they are removed completely. If you select a normal form intended for
visual components, the tabs should magically reappear again.

after the first few 'standard' tabs. After moving a couple of these
successfully, I found that subsequent moves caused the moved tab to
vanish completely! I have lost iboSearch, iboGrid, iboControls,
iboBars, and iboMisc so far. They are still present in the list
inside the component properties window, but the only way I have found
to bring these component tabs back is to completely uninstall and
reinstall C++ Builder, then completely reinstalling IBO.
Uninstalling IBO and reinstalling did not seem to fix the problem:
something inside C++ Builder has decided to hide these tabs, and
insists that they stay hidden.
