I have 4 checkbox and on each checkbox selection I want to load unique form base

I have 4 checkbox and on each checkbox selection I want to load unique form based on checkbox selection. Each form has some mandatory fields and validation. Its Same like tab behavior. Wanted to know is there some better way to achieve this in SAIL. Alternatively I have idea to collapse/expand section based on checkbox selection in SAIL form but that is something that end user want's to avoid and implement tab like behavior in sail. Any pointers to this query is appreciated.
Thank you in Advance

You can use buttons to emulate tabs. I think there was a discussion a few days ago about this.

@umeshkumark This comment is to complement stefanh's previous comment and I hope this helps you to some extent.
I wasn't sure if you have gone through this post already - /search?q=OriginalPostID-146361. Probably this throws some light into the scenario you are looking for. The post has got an attachment which illustrates the scenario you are looking for.
Few points to make note of here are:
1. If the buttons increase in number, they shift to next line and thereby disturbing the look and feel. So plan for this approach if you think that the buttons are minimal in count. (For instance we use 4 buttons to bring look and feel of tabs, and it's quite cool.)
2. Next to the number of buttons, consider the length of the characters in the name of button. If the length of characters is more than 41 (I might be wrong, but this is what I have observed), it ends up in showing dots at the end. (whereas in case of checkboxes we don't need to think as such.)
As long as we keep above points in mind, we do can proceed with using the buttons which brings the tab look and feel to end users.

Attached is a tab simulator test code by using buttons in SAIL. Just copy it to your interface and try it to see if that is what you want. You can also change buttons to images.

I also had similar requirement from business and we implemented buttons. That works for business as well
