I got mainform which has a tab control on it.
on one of the tabs, i have a button that sets:
install.mdiparent to me and then show.
It doesnt show the form.
Its because of the tab control. So i tried to send the tab control to the back, and the install form to the front. that still doesnt work.
Anyway to set the tab page as the parent container?
I have a parent form and a child form. parent form has a tabcontrol
now i want to fill whole child form to tabpage1.
Im working with MDI parent/child objects. when closing the child objects i need the child to check to see if it is the last child object before closing. i couldn't find anything on google, maybe im searching for the wrong thing.
View 2 RepliesI am looking for a way to tell when a tab has taken focus. I tried the gotfocus call but it doesn't seem to get called when I click on the tab. Did a quick search on google but can't seem to find the answer.
View 2 RepliesSo using webbrowser, I created a browser. It's tabular and the tabs show the documenttitle of the site. My question is, is it possible to create a picture box in the tab control, to ad the favicon image? Like modern browsers which show the favicon before the document title.
View 3 RepliesI'm just not able to add a custom TabControl to my project. I have found a custom tabControl here: [URL]. The CustomTab consists out of 4 .vb files. Normally I would add a component (.dll or exe) to my project. I tried adding the 4 .vb files but unfortunately no CustomTabControl.
View 3 RepliesI have a form where the user will choose multiple clients from a subform that has a DGV.Each row has a checkbox indicating that it has been selected.When the user is finished selecting the clients, I need to store the selected clients ID Number, Name, and Program Number either in a temp table or another method to only handle about 30 records.After that part is done, I need to create a new tab for each client which has a UserControl on the tab. I have the new tab thing working but I need to learn to apply the client to the first new tab/user control then create another and so on.

I have created a customized tab control (i.e. inserted a 'close' image to the right side of the tabpage, which accepts click envent). Hence, the Drawmode property of the control is set to 'OwnerDrawFixed'. Now I want to insert a icon(likely favicon) to the left side of the tab page. Since the drawmode property is set to 'OwnerDrawFixed', I was unable to use the Imagelist property.

In my form I have a TabControl that has 13 TabPages. I have been able to print the Entire form, but I would like to just print everything in various (not all) TabPages. Each of the TabPages have a several PictureBoxes and several Labels.
Where should I start to simply print the TabPage?
I ahve this code to drag and drop a tab, but my controls don't move with it.When it's moved, the tabpage is empty.How can I fix this?

It's quite strange... The text headers of the tabcontrol's tabpages are gone... Even when I set them again, they are not disappear, design-time nor run-time.
View 2 RepliesI have an MDI application where a child form (A) opens a second form as a Dialog (B), which works great but you can't do anything in the MDI until you close the Dialog form.I've now changed the Dialog form (B) so it just calls as a Show and I have disabled the parent form (A). This works better and allows you to click anywhere in the MDI (except the parent form (A)) which is ideal and works much better.
The problem comes if you maximize the parent form (A) and then open form (B), this is then also maximised but I need it to be a fixed.I've done some research and I've tried using the API SetParent which gets round the problem of the form being maximized but this makes the form TopMost in the MDI.
All I need is form B to be topmost of form A and to be a fixed size. Is there any solution?

this clearly will put it over any tab page I need to make the property specific for each tab page.
I am currently working on an OOP assignment based on vehicles as classes. The classes, attributes and object lists have been completed so far. In my main menu form, I have a tabControl from which each page displays is related to each class. Within each page, labels are included displaying attributes of the first related object in the list. There are also two buttons in each page for scrolling between each listed object from the same class. I want these forward/back buttons to be able to retrieve attributes from the next object in the object list and have them displayed in their relevant labels.

View 2 RepliesI have a created a program that allows the user to select an option button and that button takes them to the correct tab. Ive set all the tabs to visable = false untill the option button has been selected. The problem i am having is setting the focus, so the button sgoes to the tab instead of just making it visable again.
View 2 RepliesI have one form with one tabControl with two tabs, in each one I have one dgv, in the visible change event I create and add a new button column, that will be placed at the end. Now the "problem", if the first tab it's selected when the form becomes visible, the column it's placed in the correct position (last), and in the second tab the column it's placed in the third position.
If I do this with the second tab selected when the form become visible, the column it's placed correctly in this one, and in the third position in the first one... The code that I use, it's very simple, every datagrid it's bounded to a datatable, I tried the add method, then I tried the insert method, then I manually set the display index for each column, and none of this options solved my problem...
I would like to add a custom context menu to my web browser. My web browser runs through tab control so it is different then adding a contextmenustrip which i have tried.
View 6 RepliesI am back with new problem using TabControl in VBNET2008 Window Application I am trying to figure out how to determine logically either TabPage1 or TabPage2 header button is clicked on.
The TabControl has 2 Pages:
TabPage1 Text = Display Orders
TabPage2 Text = Edit Transaction.
I need to know which one is clicked on in order to write the routines.
I'm using a TabCotrol in my project , and I want to load as many tabs pages as I need with a PDF control within each tab page so I used this code :
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
Dim NewAdobePage As New AxAcroPDFLib.AxAcroPDF
Dim tb As New TabPage
[CODE]...
And now I want to use OpenFileDialog control to load PDF files into any of the already opened AxAcroPDF controls , How ?
I'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()

I have a TabControl on a UserControl. I want the UserControl to behave like a TabControl as usual (it contains only the TabControl and a Contextmenu), including Design-time behavior.I have spent the last two weeks finding out how to add the Design-time behavior and I think I have come a far way.The problem is with adding TabPages during Design-time (while the UserControl is a custom tabcontrol, it is using regular windows forms TabPages).In the Designer class, I have the following code to add a TabPage:
vb.net
Dim dh As IDesignerHost = DirectCast(GetService(GetType(IDesignerHost)), IDesignerHost) If dh IsNot Nothing Then Dim i As Integer = tc.SelectedIndex Dim name As String = GetNewTabName() Dim tab As TabPage = TryCast(dh.CreateComponent(GetType(TabPage), name), TabPage) tab.Text = name tc.Controls.Add(tab)
[code]....
So it would add the control to the TabPages collection if it was a TabPage, and use the regular routine otherwise.
(I'm now using 'tc.Controls.Add(tab)' again instead of 'tc.tabCtrl.TabPages.Add')
But, I don't think the designer even gets that far because it is telling me I cannot add TabPages to my usercontrol, because only TabControls can accept TabPages... How can I make my usercontrol understand that it is a TabControl (without Inheriting from a TabControl?)
I'm trying to create an owner drawn TabControl that looks like the tabs in Visual Studio on XP (might look different in Vista, not so sure).So far, I've got the background and the blueish border, and now I've run into some trouble drawing the 'tab headers' (where the text is displayed).Here's what I got so far:
vb.net
Imports System.Drawing.Drawing2D
Public Class cTabControl
#Region " Colors "
[code]....
Why isn't this working? How do I draw a border like this around a 'normal' OwnerDrawn tabcontrol, without the funky SetStyle method..?also, the DoubleBuffer ControlStyle (in the SetStyles method) option is not listed in the Intellisense list, but it is accepted when I finish typing it... Is that a bug?

My program handles XML files that have certain elements within a root-child node that are identical expect for their inner text value. So while populating my combo box with all of a root-child's child element's names I get like five identical items listed. Which brought about the problem of selecting say the third item and getting the value of the first displayed. So I came up with a loop function that determines if the selected combo box item is preceded by one of the same name, if it is, then it adds +1 to a counter variable and keeps checking farther and farther up the list. Once it loops to an item that doesn't have the same name it exits and it reads the Xth (X = counter mentioned earlier) element's inner text from the file. This works great for elements 1, 3, 4, and 5. But not for 2. A while back when I was focused on this problem I discovered the root of the problem but I was unable to circumvent it. I'll put the loop below so you can see the problem in action instead of trying to follow my verbose explanation:

I'm from denmark and hope I can explain my question for you. This is just a example: I have a panel, let's say panel1 and another panel on that panel (panel2) and so on until for example panel5 - on panel5 I have a button (button1). Now I would like to change button1's backcolor property through code how do I then get access to button1, now it's a child-control on panel5 that is a child control on panel4 etc. ??

I have a 3rd party program that puts up a pop up box and asks the user for input. In Spy++ the original program (I'll refer to this as Window A from now on) is a top level window, and the popup (Window B) is also a parent window. However, when I use FindWindow(Nothing, "Captcha Challenge") it returns 0. I've also used a code snippet from the forums
