Setting Focus On Textbox Inside A TabControl Works With Shown Event?

How To Have A Search Form Toolstrip Inside A Tabcontrol Page
Mar 19, 2009I am using a tabcontrol to put all my database tables as I don't want to have too many forms. I tried to set up the search form function by watching a video by Beth Messi called "Creating a search form" under form over data video series. After I finished setting up everthing accordingly, the tool strip appeared bellow the window form title bar. May I know how can I move it into the tabpage?
View 8 Replies.Net Form Activate/Deactivate Event Firing Issue After Removing A TabPage From TabControl?
Nov 28, 2011I've recently run into an unexplainable issue regarding a windows form application I am working on. I've managed to isolate the issue to a single line of code whereby a single TabPage is removed from a TabControl, leaving no tabs left in the TabControl's collection. What happens next is a bit mystifying: my application proceeds to enter a state in which the main form's Activate event is fired subsequently followed by its Deactivate event. As a result, no matter where I click on the form, the application will activate for a split-second then immediately deactivate itself, thereby causing me to be unable to interact with any other GUI controls on the form. I thought maybe another thread is trying to interact with the deleted tab object, but the tab is created and destroyed on the same main gui thread. Does anyone have any insight that may point me in at least a new direction? Stepping through the debugger to the point in code where the tab is removed does not cause any exception to get thrown, so at first glance there doesn't appear to be any coding issues going on (although I would not be surprised that is actually the case!).

How To Make Window/form Become Active Foreground
Apr 21, 2010I'm using Visual Basic 2010 Express.I have a form that can be minimized.There's also a tray icon.I've coded it so that if you double-click on the tray icon, the form's FormWindowState becomes set to Normal; this restores the form to where was before it became minimized, but the form does not become the active window on my desktop.
How can I make the form become the active most foreground window? I've tried various functions that I can think of but no luck yet. Tried searching with various queries to try and find the right wording but no luck.I'm new to Visual Basic - only started a couple hours ago.Probably something simple but I can't seem to find the correct function or anything.I have the form/window open, and then I overlap said form with a window of another application. When I double-click my app's tray icon, I want my window to become the active window, bringing it to the front, but can't figure out how

IDE :: GroupBox Inside TabControl Not Honor Anchor Settings
Dec 3, 2010I updated a VS2008 vb.net application to VS2010 targeting the .Net 3.5 framework. This application has a windows form that contains a tab control. This tab control contains 6 tab pages. The tab control's tab pages contain group boxes. The group boxes have their anchor property set to Top, Bottom, Left and Right. The tab control's anchor property is also set to Top, Bottom, Left and Right.
When I open this form in VS2010 and resize the form, the tab control is automatically resized. The group boxes inside each tab page appear to automatically resize. If I close the form and immediately reopen it and click through each tab page; the first tab page's group box is resized, but each of the other tab pages's group box has not been resized.
I reported this issue through Microsoft Connect - [URL]. This worked in VS2003, VS2005, VS2008 but was broken in VS2010. I really want the behavior that existed in the previous versions of visual studio. Right now, I have to manually resize each individual group box every time I bring up the form in the designer.

View 3 RepliesWhich Tab Was Clicked On Tabcontrol MouseClick Event
Feb 12, 2010I am learning how to develop Windows Forms applications with Visual Basic Express 2008, and my testing/learning application has a TabControl with a few test pages (3, for example, the number isn't relevant here).Now, I am handing the MouseClick event on the Tabcontrol, and I can't seem to be able to figure out how to get which tab was clicked on.I believe that the MouseClick event isn't fired if I click on another place of the tab strip, therefore a tab must have been clicked on. The problem is, which was the tab?
View 1 RepliesAssigning Event Handler To TabControl's Image (No OwnerDraw)
May 27, 2012Is it possible to assign the MouseDown event handler or equivalent to an image (from ImageList) of a tabcontrol without using OwnerDraw? I can add images to tabs through ImageList. And I can draw something that looks like a close button on each tab, using OwnerDraw. But I notice that the tab sizes will be fixed regardless of the tab labels. I want the tab sizes to be flexible with the labels. For now, the second best alternative to assign events to tabs seems to be use of contextual menus. But it's true that some people just don't want to right-button-click on tabs.And I have seen a project where somebody uses a 32-bit library declare. And I can't use it because I only develop 64-bit apps.
