View 7 RepliesIs there a way to make the actual tabs different sizes? I just want the tabs themselves different sizes not the whole thing. Seems like the itemsize property does this but it will only allow you to set one size. I want each tab to be a different size depending on its text.
View 11 RepliesI notice that the actual tabs on a TabControl are quite small (I am using VB 2008 Express). I would like more vertical space above and beneath the text on the tabs. I tried changing the padding in the TabPages collection but it didn't seem to do anything. Is there a way to make the tabs bigger?
View 1 RepliesFirst off I hope this is in the correct I am creating a calculator software in Visual Basic 2008 Express edition. I don't know if it is .NET or not, I assume it is? I downloaded this version: [URL]...Now, I will have tabs at the top. The tabcontrol is named "Tabs". On each tab I will have a different category of mathematical functions. Now, I need the backspace, clear, clear entry, equals, and all the numbers 0-9 to appear on every single tab. Is there a way of doing this without creating a new button named "Backspace2", "Backspace3" for tabs 2 & 3 for example?

View 6 RepliesI was wondering if there was a solution to replacing the tab control's tabs with custom tabs made in Photoshop. I know there are plenty of super expensive programs that can do it, but I was wondering if there was a way to do it programmatically. I was thinking that maybe it could linked in some way with a .DLL?
View 1 RepliesMy code is basically a file parser/editor and it handles most files fine as they hold a handful of records concerning family members. However there are a few files that crash when trying to deal with them. Here is the problem.Each family member record creates 3 tabs that hold an average of 3 group boxes each. Each group box holds an average of 3 text boxes.So each member record creates 3x3x3 = 27 text boxes and some files get up to 289 family members which = 7803 text boxes.
The problem is the rare file with 400+ member records = 10,800 text boxes which causes a crash due to using up all the window handles. Each member has a separate tab page (with 3 subpages) but really only a dozen or so member pages are visible in the GUI with scroll arrows to move through them so I was thinking of somehow making the GUI a scrollable window so the tabs get built, displayed and disposed as the user scrolls left and right through the member tabs.
The files are parsed into a 3d list DataList(x,y,z) where x is the page number, y is the group box number and z is the text box number. So all the data is available. The code then traverses MyList and builds GuiList(x,y) where x is the page number and y is the groupbox number with all the textbox.text linked to MyList(x,y,z) locations so all text changes are reflected in the MyList.
I already have a memberCount variable and I am thinking of building, say, the first 30 member tabs with the middle 10 being visible in the GUI. If the selected tab > 20, then dispose of the first 10 tabs and create tabs 30-40.I am thinking I will keep all the member tab pages so I don't have to deal with inserts and indexing problems but just dispose all the group boxes and text boxes for tab pages out of view. I already have a deep clone sub that clones members when the user wants to add a new family member and I am thinking I will have to add something similar when a tabpage is passed in for disposal, it traverses and disposes each text box, then disposes the group box for each group box on the tab page.Additionally, another routine will rebuild the group boxes from the data held in MyList(x,y,z) when a tabpage(x) is passed in.

i m trying to load the tabs dynamically.(Using AjaxToolKit). Firstly, when i hit button1 on pageload, it loads tab1() (works good) and when i hit button2, itloads up tab2() All these tabs are ascx pages. In tab1 i m loading WebUserControl.ascx. it works okay.
Issues:
1) When you runthe code, first click on button2, it doesn't load tab2 dynamicaly but it does when u hit button1 for the first time.
2) Repetitive clicking on button1 or button2 should load the same tabs next to eachother again and again but it doesn't
3) Thirdly, the main issue is that I m tryin to load another .ascx on loadtab2() which should have webparts in it. I should be able to load an another custom usercontrol into these web parts dynamically. But i m not able to do so.
Here is my code:
Default.aspx

<asp:PlaceHolder ID="PlaceHolder1" runat="server"></asp:PlaceHolder>

View 5 Replieshow can i add TABS to my homemade webbrowseR?
View 1 RepliesWell, this time my target is to add and rename Tabs with tabcontrol, e.g.
I have a form and have added a TabControl to it and in the TabPages i have added RTB's,now i have also added a button which should add a new tab page to the TabControl, the thing is i know how to add a NEW tab but i also need to have a new RTB in each New created TabPage and after i create a new TabPage i wanna add the Title of that New TabPage. To add New Title to the New TabPage i have created a New Form in which i placed a TextBox so that that text that i type Into that TextBox should appear as the New TabPage Name.
Here's some code i tried, and i know that there's missing something and i know that the code may be written wrong but that's all i know, unfortunately?
Code:
Private Sub AddNewTabTool_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles AddNewTabTool.Click
Dim rtb As New RichTextBox

What I'm trying to do is emulate something that we have in C++ in Visual Basic. I have a large table of 25+ columns that I need to display in a grid (don't want a scroll bar). I'd like to use a DataGridView instead of a nightmare of textboxes and add "tabs" to a datagrid view. Lets say the initial tab shows columns 1 - 9, Tab 2 shows Columns 1 - 5 and 10 - 15, tab3 shows 1 - 5 and 15 - 18, etc....
View 13 RepliesI have buttons a few text boxes etc on a form, however I want to move it all to a tab (as in the tab control). I add a new tab control, cut all the buttons and textboxes, paste them into the tab control on tab 1. All good so far. When I run it, and click the buttons, they dont do anything. Do I need to move all the code to somewhere else or something?
