I have a form that has many tabs and I have some buttons just bellow the tabs, but if I could move those buttons and place them inside the tab I would save some space bellow and I could extend on the tabs. So is there a way of moving controls from one tab to another depending which one has focus.

View 1 RepliesI have an MDI application which uses fixed sized forms. I've started to change the forms to sizeable and anchored the controls so they move when the form is resized. If the child form has a menu this jumps onto the parent menu (as it always has done) but all the controls move up the form at runtime and leave a space at the bottom of the child. If I change the form in design mode to cut through the bottom controls i.e. so the form doesn't appear tall enough, it corrects itself at runtime. Is there another workaround as it looks misleading in the designer.
View 3 RepliesUsing VB.NET 08 I'm using the following code which loops through a datagridview and makes the buttons found in the list visible
HTML Code:CallByName(Me.Controls("btn_" & list.Rows(J).Cells(1).Value()), "Visible", CallType.Set, True)
This code works fine with no issue with the buttons on on the form. However when I placed the buttons in to a tabcontrol on the same form I get the following error:Object variable or With block variable not set.
Does this error relate to the way CallByName calls the button handler and that its different to they way you could otherwise produce the same result using

button1.visible=true

Using single controls on different tabs
I need to be able to programmatically create new tabs on a TabControl, add controls to them, and be able to update the controls in each tab from another function. I already have a function to add tabs to the control, and to add controls to those tabs when they are created, but I'm stuck as to update the controls after they have been created.EDIT: This is what I have to make the tabs and add the controls:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim tabpage As New TabPage
tabpage.Text = "(empty)"

I can't seem to get back into the account I used to post this question, so I have to post my follow-up to Tim's question in the comments for the previous answer as a new answer.Debug.WriteLine(TabControl1.TabPages.Item(2).Controls.Find("textbox1", True).Count) returns 0. The tab and the controls have been created prior.
i am building a tab control (using VS 2010 and 4.0 framework). on Tab 0, this works as expected:
Me.ddUE_B1.SelectedValue = Me.B1.Text <-- changes the combo box selection to what is in the label.
on the other tabs this does not work. when I do a messagebox to show, say, Me.Ea1.Text on Tab 1, nothing is returned.
Is there an issue with referencing controls on tabs that I am missing? In general, I will need to set combo box's value to what is in the database when the form loads.
I am about dead certain that in VB Express 2008 that I was able to have multiple tabs. And, on each tab I put controls. I could also click on a tab and see the controls only on that tab.I am now in Visual Studio Pro and I cannot for the life of me look at what is on a specific tab. Only the first tab wants to shows its controls.Does anyone know how to enable the environment to allow me to view the controls on different tabs?!
View 3 RepliesI have a form with a TabControl on it. On the first tab I have a DataGridView and I have a series of controls to represent six separate filters that can be applied to the data in the DataGridView. Each of these filters consists of 1. a ComboBox to display the columns in the DGV so the user can select one to filter on2. a ComboBox to contain the different filter conditions ("Equal to", "Greater Than", etc...)3. a TextBox to allow the user to enter the string to filter againstSo that's what's on the first tab. Tabs 2,3, and 4 are visually identical to tab 1 although they will hold different data and have different capabilities.
View 4 RepliesI have a tab (created in the form developer) that contains about a dozen controls. I need to be able to clone this tab w/all controls. I have no problem creating the forms. However, the controls don't copy. This is true whether I create the new tab with a string:
TabPages.Add(MO.Name)Or with a tab object assigned to the base form:
Dim NewTab As New TabPage
NewTab = MyBaseTabPage
TabPages.Add(NewTab)
In either case, my first tab has everything it should have the other tabs have, the other tabs have only the tab name.Basically, I want to be able to clone my base tab into n number of tabs.
I had originally created an "Options" form that had all my different options checkboxes and settings. I am implementing a new layout for the UI and am wanting to move all the contents of the Options form to the main form without having to redo a bunch of code.
I know cutting and pasting will "break it", so I'm not sure how to do it with minimal effort. is this doable?
I would like to learn how to move a control like the visual studio program. In the toolbox you have a list of all your controls (button, listbox etc....). They are labels and when you double click or drag on the label the associated control shows up on the form.
How can I do something like this in my application?

View 2 RepliesI have a FlowPanelLayout that can contain several UserControls called DataGridViewFilterSortElement. These controls look kind of like buttons, but different. I want the user to be able to click one of the DataGridViewFilterSortElement controls and drag it to another position (index) in the FlowLayoutPanel. Is there a way to see the control physically moving as the user drags it to another position? In other words, is there a way to take a "snap shot" of the control that is being dragged (instead of a shadowed box) which would show the actual control moving as the cursor moves?
Also, as the control is being dragged I'd like to have the other controls position to shift automatically instead of waiting for the user to drop the drag to see the shifts. For example, let's say the FlowPanelLayout contains 3 controls and the user wants to drag the first control to the third controls position. So the user clicks and holds the first DataGridViewFilterSortElement, then drags over the second control, which causes the second control to shift to position 1 of 3, then the user drags over the third control, which causes the third control to shift to position 2 of 3, then the user drops the control in position 3.
Here is a short little video that shows what I want to do: Video Example
Private Sub lblDescription_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles Me.MouseDown, lblDescription.MouseDown
' if the user left clicks and holds the element begin a DragDrop action
If e.Button = Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Left Then
Me.DoDragDrop(Me, DragDropEffects.Move)
End If
End Sub

I 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.
Is there any way in c# or VB to automatically move the controls in a panel when the window is resized. I do not want the Anchor property, which only resizes the control. THe use is that controls are added at runtime to the form, and when the locations/values are loaded on a computer with a larger monitor, they are in the incorrect positions.
View 8 RepliesI've created a tab control and on one of the pages I added a button, but I cannot move the button around with the mouse!? I can change the buttons position within the tab control page using the property Location and I can size the button using the mouse and the button is NOT locked. I even tried creating a new project with just the tab control and it still does the same thing. I can, tho, move the button using the keyboard arrows!

I commented the area where I haven't been able to figure out how to code it. I have spent a few days working this out and have spent the past 6 hours working on this part.
How do I do this? If I cut and paste, then it wipes the code, sometimes the stuff doesn't even show up when I run the program (I guess it's loosing all the handler information) I read about not cutting / pasting controls in the sticky at the top.

It's not about re-sizing more about moving the controls to the outer edges when my form is maximized.
