Adding An Image To 1 Of The Tabs On A TabControl, Blocks My Tab's Text?
Dec 9, 2011Using Visual Studio 2005 (vb.net) (windows forms) on Windows XP, I have a standard Microsoft TabControl.A button click adds/removes an image from 1 of the Tabs.Seems like the image is placed OVER my tab's text, making it unreadable.Why isn't it like it should be: Image on the left. Followed by text on the right.Why is the image being placed OVER my tab's text? Do I need to do some kind of "refresh" or "redraw" before it will appear as it should? I don't see any way to "make the image appear on the left edge of the tab". (NOT the tab-page.) ... and then place the text just to the right of the image. (Just like a normal image+text tab can do.)The code is pretty simple, it just gets an image from my ImageList: cfgTab.ImageKey = "PadLockClosed.png"' Show CLOSED PadLockThe tab's text changes from: This is my tab text to: T(IMAGE HERE)is my tab text The image appears OVER the beginning of my text. But if I move to another tab, then move back, the image appears in the correct position:(IMAGE HERE) This is my tab text

Making The GUI A Scrollable Window - Tabs Get Built, Displayed And Disposed As The User Scrolls Left And Right Through The Member Tabs?
Mar 6, 2009My 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.
[2008] MDI TabControl Container - TabGroups (Vertical / Horizontal)?
Jan 6, 2009I'm trying to make an MDI TabControl Container usercontrol, which is used instead of the MdiClient control in an MDI application. Instead of MDI Forms, you can use (modified) TabControls that behave like (maximized) MDI Forms in a Tabbed environment.
A great example is of course the Visual Studio IDE. Each window is just a TabPage on a TabControl (at least it looks like it is, I don't know exactly how it works in the IDE.. but let's assume it is).Now, the VS IDE uses some great functionality which I believe is called TabGroups. By Right-clicking (or dragging it into nothingness) a TabPage 'header', you can choose New Horizontal / Vertical Tab Group, which splits the 'container' into two TabControls, each with their own TabPages, with a splitter in between so you can resize them.
I have been trying to recreate this behaviour, and I must say it works pretty well so far for very little effort. The only (major) downside is, it only works for Vertical OR Horizontal TabGroups. I have no idea how I can possibly make it work using both vertical and horizontal TabGroups simultaneously...
What I did is pretty simple: I have a mdiTabControlContainer which is just a blank UserControl. I made a public property TabControls that returns a (custom) mdiTabControlCollection (inheriting from a generic Collection(Of mdiTabControl) which is basically just a collection of my tabcontrols.
When the collection is modified, I call a RedrawTabControls method which first clears the Controls (deletes all TabControls), and then adds them one by one. First the last in the collection (docked Fill) then the rest docked Left. I also add a splitter between each TabControl. (Code at the bottom)If I dock the TabControls to "Top" for example, I can make it Horizontal. But I have no idea how I can possibly dock a few of them to Left and the other few to Top...? I would need some kind of property that determines which TabControl should be docked where, right? But how and when would I set that property?
The code I'm using now is:
vb.net
Imports System.Collections.ObjectModel
Public Class mdiTabControlContainer
Public Sub New()

View 4 Replies.net - Reorder Tabs In TabControl Without Flickering
Dec 17, 2010There are multiple examples of modified TabControls on the Internet which allow the user to reorder the tabs using drag and drop. However, all seem to use the following technique:
Determine which tab is being dragged
Determine the index to which the tab is being dragged
Empty the tab page collection and add in the new order
The last step, hoewever, causes the control to flicker alot. Besides this, when there are a lot of tab pages on the tab control, it is rather slow.
Is it possible to swap items (i.e. swap indexes) in a TabPageCollection, without the TabControl flickering?

View 2 RepliesForce TabControl To Draw All Tabs?
Mar 26, 2011I have an app with a TabControl that has 4 tabs on it. Each tab has probably 15 or so controls on it.This app is multilingual, so sometimes I need to resize things dynamically to make everything fit properly.For instance,I might need to resize a GroupBox to ensure a CheckBox can fit inside it properly if the language is changed. The language selection is on the tab with the GroupBoxes.
This dynamic resizing works flawlessly if I am already on the tab with the GroupBoxes when I make the language change, but when I start the app (on the first tab, not the language tab), my controls are being dynamically resized incorrectly (on the language tab).Further investigation showed me that only the first (currently selected) tab was the proper width, let's say 500, and the other tabs report 400 as their width, even though of course, they are indeed the same size.
I suspect this behavior is because unviewed tab pages are not... initialized? I'm not sure if that is the correct term. Even though I'm resizing controls on them? How can I bypass this behavior? Selecting each tab programmatically to "initialize" them does work, but is not a feasible option in this case, as the user can see it happening.

View 15 RepliesSimluate Hiding / Unhiding Of Tabs In TabControl?
Jul 2, 2009I have a tab control which contains other controls which I populate at run-time. I want to be able to hide certains tabs in this control and then make them visible at certain times. My understanding is that you cannot hid individual tabs in a tab control. All you can do is add them and delete them. If this is the case, is it possible to populate my controls in a Master TabControl at run time, then use a second tab control which is shown at the end of the routine, then add/delete tabs to this second tabcontrol and copy the populated controls from the Master TabControl to these tabs.
The idea being that I will create my tabs on the fly after the routine has run but I need the ability to copy populated controls held elsewhere into this tabcontrol.

View 35 RepliesUse A Page Frame (like A TabControl) And Hide The Tabs?
Aug 31, 2009One of the great features of Page Frames in the now discontinued FoxPro language was that you could use a Page Frame (like a TabControl) and hide the tabs. The nice thing about this was that if you wanted (for example) to have simulated "frames" you could use a Page Frame control, hide the tabs, and that gave you endless frame that you could then access programmatically.I need to do something along the same lines. To further illustrate, if you look at any configuration screen in Office 2007, they all have a ListBox on the left, and then clicking on those Listbox selections brings up "frames" on the right with what you want to work with.This is the effect I want to create - but in .NET I cannot see a good control to use.
Panels - these seemed a good idea at first, but even when set to Visible and not Visible these frames hide each other so they dont seem like they will work.
GroupBoxes - Tried these but the same problem as with panels.
TabControl - Tried this, and it works great - but I DONT want the Tabs. Instead I want non-tabbed pages, that would then be like frames.
What is the best control to use? And, can I hide the Tabs somehow in the TabControl?
