Determine If A Tabpage Is Already Open?
Sep 19, 2011i am using a tabcontrol with close button.i have 4 tabpage and i call each tabpage through menustrip.
MainTab.TabPages.Add(TerminalPage)"for tabpage1"
MainTab.TabPages.Add(Attendance)"for tabpage2"
MainTab.TabPages.Add(Multimedia Projector)"for tabpage3"
MainTab.TabPages.Add(Conversation)"for tabpage4"
i can open and close it without any problem. my problem is that how can i determine if the tabpage is already open? bcoz for example if the tabpage1 is already open, clicking MainTab.TabPages.Add(TerminalPage)"for tabpage1" this will add another tabpage named terminal page.

VS 2010 Keeping Track Of 'Active' Tabpage With Multiple TabControls?
Aug 11, 2010I am building a sort of 'lightweight' Visual Studio, and I'm trying to implement the feature where you can drag tabs to different 'tab groups', viewing multiple tabs side by side.
I got nearly everything working, I show a ContextMenuStrip when you rightclick the tab headers, with the option of creating a new (horizontal or vertical) Tab Group. When that happens, a new TabControl is added dynamically and the selected tab is moved there. You can drag the tabs around inside a TabControl and even from one to another.
The problem now is keeping track of the 'active' tab. Since I have multiple TabControls (not just two, there can be as many as you want theoretically), their SelectedTab properties are basically useless. How am I to determine which TabControl the user is currently working in? Obviously I will always have multiple selected tabs, but only one active tab, in which the user is currently typing, editing, whatever.I need to know the active tab for obvious reasons: many menu and toolbar items act on the active tab for example. A short explanation of my controls:I have one TabGroupContainer control, which inherits UserControl. I have a TabGroup control, which inherits TabControl.I have a Tab control, which inherits TabPage.
The TabGroupContainer holds a collection of TabGroups (to which I dynamically add/remove TabGroups when required). Now I want the TabGroupContainer control to have the ActiveTab property which returns the one and only active tab (out of possibly many selected tabs).The only logical way is to keep track of the tab that was selected last, for every TabGroup.
At the moment, I am doing this:
- In the TabGroup (TabControl) class, I shadow the SelectedTab property (and return a Tab instead of a TabPage). More importantly, in the property setter, I raise a SelectedTabChanged event:
vb.net
Public Shadows Property SelectedTab As Tab
Get
Return DirectCast(MyBase.SelectedTab, Tab)
[code]....
However, it still doesn't work. I soon figured out why: I am checking that the previously SelectedTab is not the same as the new value in the property setter of the (shadowed) SelectedTab property. I don't raise the event when they were the same, and in this case they were the same (as there is only one tab in the TabGroup!).So, I took that check out, and now it seems to work when I click in the text editor.
So one problem remains: the active tab is not changed when you click on the tab header (and not on the text editor). I am clueless as to how I should handle this... I am once again sure there is a simple fix, but I cannot see it. I can click the tab header, and I'm sure behind the hood it responds to this click, but it never raises it SelectedIndexChanged event because the index didn't change but was set to the same value it already had. I cannot override the SelectedIndex property (so I could skip this check and raise the event anyway even if the value didn't change), and the OnSelectedIndexChanged method is not called, so I cannot use that either...

Using System.Windows.Forms.TabPage To Store An Entire TabPage For Later Use?
Jan 8, 2009I am using System.Windows.Forms.TabPage to store an entire TabPage for later use in My.Settings. Here is a brief description of the application.
I have a TabControl that has 3 tabs. One for user input, another tab for equipment settings, and then a final tab for Oven settings. On the user input tab, if the user de-selects the checkbox for Oven, the oven tab is saved to My.Settings and hidden.
I can then run the application without oven control. After running, lets say the user would like to re-run, this time with the oven. They go back to the input tab and re-select the Oven checkbox. However, the Oven tab doesn't re-appear. When stepping through the code, the is nothing stored in My.Settings for the oven tab page. Why not?
Also, I can open the application, and check, then uncheck the oven checkbox and the tab is hidden, then returns. I can do this all day. However, after running the tab will not return.

View 2 RepliesExit Grid With Ctrl-TAB When Grid Is On A Tabpage (onkeydown Works When Grid Not On Tabpage)?
Jun 2, 2010winforms .net 3.5 Ultrawingrid 9.2 In my subclass of Ultrawingrid.Ultragrid :
[Code]...
This works fine. But when the grid is dropped on a TabControl tabpage, the ctrl-tab looks very different to the sub above. e.keycode is seen as controlkey {17} I realize that by default cntrl-Tab moves between tabpages. I need to override this behavior. My thought is I probably need a subclass of the tabControl which will pass the keycombo through just as the form does but I confess to being clueless as to how to accomplish that. I tried to override the onkeydown of a tabcontrol subclass and just issuing a return and not and base call to onkeydown if the ctrl-tab combo was pressed but it seemed to see the e.keycode as controlkey as well.

This works as intended as long as none of the windows that belong to this application are the Foreground window. If this program is running and another application's window is the Foreground window, then it flashes as intended. If, however, any of this application's windows are the Foreground window, then it doesn't flash.

Jan 8, 2010Is It possible to have a "new tab" button on a tabpage, like in IE how theres the little square you click to add a new tab. So normally I use a separate button (like on a toolstrip) to create a new tab, but I want to have a button that floats next to the last tabpage in a tabcontrol that adds tabs. It would be great to have a little button at the end of each tab that you can click to close the tab, like in google chrome (I have an attachment, something as close as possible to that. like this is a normal "tabpage button"(the button where you click to show whatever is in the tab) [Tab Text.... ] and I want something like [Tab Text....

View 3 RepliesDragging File From One Tabpage Into Another?
Aug 21, 2009I cannot get the dragdrop event to fire when I drag a file from one tabpage to another tab page in the same tabcontrol. I can drag a file from my application and drop into windows explorer and and then drag from windows explorer into my app. That all works fine. And when I drag from one tabpage up to the top of the control, my program uses the tabcontrols dragover event to swap tabs....works fine also. ...Drag drop event fires...no problems
Say I have a list box with files on one tabpage, a list box with files from a different directory on another tabpage, I want to be able to drag the file over and drop it into the other listbox.I have done lots of testing on the variables in the dragdrop handlers to see if they are recognizing the switch in controls and they are. But the dragdrop event will not fire.
Duplication Of Tabpage Layout?
Jul 21, 2010I've gone through various thread, posts, classes and walkthroughs on sites but seem to be coming up short either in my understanding or what is/should be going on.I have a very simple data entry tabcontrol (think like microsoft excel but textboxes, labels and the odd combobox rather than a grid). When I click one tab it creates a new tab and names it according the sequence (no problems so far). Here is the crotch kicker (for me at least). I need the first tabpage layout on all additional tabpage so that data can be entered in each separately and stored with constant "processing" (adding and subtracting ).What would be the best approach to doing such a tabpage duplication?
Currently a User control library inheriting from tabpage seems like a good idea but with the 40 or so controls on it is this actually going to function like the first tabpage (as in the one i have now not the one I'd have if i used the user control instead).Do I take the raft of code the designer creates automatically for the tabpage and its controls and simply add them to the click event? Would this create duplication problems with name or would it be ok as they would be tabpage1.lblName and tabpage2.lblName?
