Using System.Windows.Forms.TabPage To Store An Entire TabPage For Later Use?
Jan 8, 2009
I am using System.Windows.Forms.TabPage to store an entire TabPage for later use in My.Settings. Here is a brief description of the application.
I have a TabControl that has 3 tabs. One for user input, another tab for equipment settings, and then a final tab for Oven settings. On the user input tab, if the user de-selects the checkbox for Oven, the oven tab is saved to My.Settings and hidden.
I can then run the application without oven control. After running, lets say the user would like to re-run, this time with the oven. They go back to the input tab and re-select the Oven checkbox. However, the Oven tab doesn't re-appear. When stepping through the code, the is nothing stored in My.Settings for the oven tab page. Why not?
Also, I can open the application, and check, then uncheck the oven checkbox and the tab is hidden, then returns. I can do this all day. However, after running the tab will not return.
I Try so many times to change TabPage Size and Form Size when I shif from One TabPAge to another, This because every TabPAge consist of defrent volume of control which need to enlarge and reduce the size. But I couldn't make it.

This works fine. But when the grid is dropped on a TabControl tabpage, the ctrl-tab looks very different to the sub above. e.keycode is seen as controlkey {17} I realize that by default cntrl-Tab moves between tabpages. I need to override this behavior. My thought is I probably need a subclass of the tabControl which will pass the keycombo through just as the form does but I confess to being clueless as to how to accomplish that. I tried to override the onkeydown of a tabcontrol subclass and just issuing a return and not and base call to onkeydown if the ctrl-tab combo was pressed but it seemed to see the e.keycode as controlkey as well.
I'm struggling how to set up MDI interface where I have a tabpage control on the parent form. Each individual tab page should act as a parent to multiple child forms but within a tabcontrol there is no IsMdiContainer property like on the form.Is it possible to set a tabcontrol to act as a parent?
I'm a long-time developer but semi-new to Visual Studio .NET and VB.NET. I've been working on an application for months, written in Visual Basic .NET. It's a rewrite of a popular IDE of mine that's originally written in assembly. What I'm trying to do in VB.NET is have multiple TabPage classes that inherit from TabPage, ofcourse, but each having it's own methods for common functions like Cut, Copy, Paste, etc. so that when I call tab.Cut(), the TabPage class for the currently-selected tab is the one used. In each custom TabPage class, I'll have a New instance of the main control that goes in that tab.
I think there would be a problem when I loop through the TabPages since the Foreach routine can only use one object type, as far as I know (TabPage).Currently I have only one custom TabPage class called Page that obviously inherits from TabPage, has additional properties and also methods that allow editing functions for whatever control is selected to be displayed for the tab. For example, when I call the New constructor, I supply the editor type as a parameter: dim tab as New Page(HEX_EDITOR).I have edit controls such as text, syntax editor, hex editor, bitmap editor, HTML editor, HTML browser. This means I get a new instance of all of those controls each time a new Page is added to the TabControl. I'm currently disposing of the unneeded editors depending on which editor is the one needed. The scheme is not preferred but it works great for now as I work on other areas of the IDE.
I have an application where the tabpages are created at runtime and the forms are docked into the tabpages as controls. Now I want , a right click on the tab to ask the user whether he wants to undock the form as a seperate window. Is this possible
I have a tabgroup with 2 tabs. During runtime, I wish to add new ones. Though I can get the tabs added, I cannot seem to add the ListBox that is supposed to go with it. In the code below, I added '*' to indicate a line I added to try and fix the problem, but (obviously) don't work.
Dim newTab As New TabPage("Group " + g.userLabel.ToString()) newTab.Name = "Tab" + g.userLabel.ToString TabGroups.TabPages.Add(newTab)
How can I make an event for a tabcontrol which has Tabpage1, Tabpage2, Tabpage3, and so on.. For example... There's a label outside the tabcontrol (Label1). If tabpage1 is selected, how can I make the label1's text changed?
Im wondering how can i execute this code properly.. it seems i need to click the tabpage twice before my 'Save_Set_' button will take prompt or action..
Private Sub TabPage1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TabPage1.Click teleport_controller = 1 '<--- declared as integer End Sub[code]....
tabpage1 and tabpage2 are under in tabcontrol1 control.. the problem here is when i select to this tabpages my save_set button doesnt execute for the code.. but if i click the tabpage again its working... i dont like this kind of action at all..
In Vb.Net 2005, how is it possible to make the TabPage.Text to appear when the DrawMode of a TabControl is set to OwnerDrawFixed. I have even tried to set the TabPage.Text in the Form_Load event but of no avail.
I want to customize the tab control the tabpage headers shoud fill the tabcontrol header. if there are only two tab pages then the header should be divided into two parts
and give me good info about tabcontrol custonmization for better look and work
I have the code which checks if there is a selected tab
Private Function GetBrowser() As WebBrowser If TabControl1.SelectedTab IsNot Nothing Then For Each c As Control In TabControl1.SelectedTab.Controls If TypeOf (c) Is WebBrowser Then Return c
Is It possible to have a "new tab" button on a tabpage, like in IE how theres the little square you click to add a new tab. So normally I use a separate button (like on a toolstrip) to create a new tab, but I want to have a button that floats next to the last tabpage in a tabcontrol that adds tabs. It would be great to have a little button at the end of each tab that you can click to close the tab, like in google chrome (I have an attachment, something as close as possible to that. like this is a normal "tabpage button"(the button where you click to show whatever is in the tab) [Tab Text.... ] and I want something like [Tab Text.... X] where the X is a button that closes the tab.
in my form, i have a tabcontrol with 2 tabpage..in tabpage1, it consist textbox1 and textbox2..in tabpage2, it consist textbox3 and textbox4..
Sub checkchanges() flag = False If curPosition > DataSet.Tables("myTable").Rows.Count - 1 Then MessageBox.Show("Please save new record.")
[code]....
I want to check changes in my form. When user click next page without save the current page which has been edited, user will be prompt to save the record.so, in the code, I am comparing the data in the textbox control with data in the dataset.it is successful. but the problem is, i have to click on every tabpage. otherwise, the textbox in tabpage2 is not recognize..

i am creating a web browser to make something i do at work a bit easyier to manageits a form with a few tabsi need each tab on form1 load, to start individual .exe's that i have already created.these .exe's are simple web browsers that are automatically navigated to a website with a asp query for loginthe website for each tab is identical only the login asp querychanges.the reason for this is i cant use a single .exe otherwise it retains the login and i get identical logins on each.
is there a way to set the focus to a tabpage ?in one of my panels, i have a tabcontrol with different tabs that i'm trying to control with some code but nothing works so far.
I'm trying to add a tabPage to an existing TabControl named TabControl4 I went all over it with the Debugger and everything is fine, but it won't show the TabPage in the TabControl. That's the code, Notice all the information being added to the TabPage is retrieved from a database so don't pay any attention to it, plus the software is in Hebrew so just ignore the Hebrew Strings.
I want to ask how add crossButton image to TabPage as in IE..To add left hand side image..I assign the imagelist property if tabcontrol to imagelistNAme & then slect the tabPage & change the imageIndex.I want to ask how to add Right Handi Side Cross Button Iamge & if we click on it,tab is close.
I have a tab control on first page of which there is a flexgrid. some functions are called which throughout make chages to this flexgrid. now during runtime I create more tabpages with exactly the same Flexgrid (as in I have named it the same as the first one so that I should be able to call the same functions and the same modifications should happen with this flexgrid as well. How should I call the function so that the flexgrid used is the one on my new tabpage. if I just call the function with the code Call functionname(), it modifies the same flexgrid control in the first tabpage and does nothing to the new ones on the newly created tabpages
I have tabpage1.backcolor = black and that doesn't change the color of the tab itself.. the tab is still gray.. How do you change the colors of the tabs themselves?[url]...
I have one tabpage on my form, which shows new grids when requested by the user. At runtime currently each of these views load on the same tabpage (first one) after removing the old view). I want to save each of these views in a new tabpage which I will create at runtime.Is it possible for me copy the entire contents of a tabpage including the data and copy it on to a new tabpage?
i can open and close it without any problem. my problem is that how can i determine if the tabpage is already open? bcoz for example if the tabpage1 is already open, clicking MainTab.TabPages.Add(TerminalPage)"for tabpage1" this will add another tabpage named terminal page.
I' havea doubt on vb.net windows applicationwhile im using tab pages when i 'm moving fromabpage1 to tabpage2 all the controls in tabepag2 must be cleared(if checkbox is checked ,it should be unchecked when we move to tabpage2
