    Posted: 08 June 2005 at 1:20am
Hello,
after many tries with my application and the TabManager example, I have found that I can't use the TabControl inside one of my forms of the MDI collection.

Is it true ?
Thanks
Daniel

Is the for you want to place it on the MDIParent form?  If so, try placing the tab control in a picturebox or panel control.  If this is not what you meant, then are you talking about placing the tabcontrol on the MDIChild form?  Do you use VB6, C#, VB.NET, etc?

I want to place my TabControl on a MDIChild form.

I use VB.NET.
I've read the post "Using TabControl in a MDI child form" and I've not understood the place for the PictureBox. It's not very clear.

Not sure what to tell you.  I just modified the TabManager Sample and it worked ok.  What problems are you having trying to do this?  I did not need a picture box, I simply placed the Tabcontol on the MDI Child form.

Thanks.

OK, but keep in mind that I just cut and paste the code to create the tabs, so not all of the options work.  I just used the code to illustrate how to hadd the tabcontrol. 2005-06-08_081710_TabManager.zip

Ok, but there is a big problem. This is a regression.

You see on the forum that I am not alone with this problem.

Help me with the panel, I don't see where I have to place one.

In your example, is it in the Usercontrols like pagAutoHidePanel or PageTabControl ?

And how do I replace this :
wndTabControl1.InsertItem(0, "TabWorkspace", pageTabWorkspace.Handle.ToInt32, 300) which handle do I need to use ?

Thanks for any help.
Daniel

I know this isn't the best way, but it works.  Maybe Oleg can suggest better way for .NET 2003.

I bought high level control not to program all these bad codes. Ihave to do as with the Microsoft's sstabs  !!!
And :
- I don't get the controls inside the different pages.
- If I open a second document, I get an error on  closing it or when I close the application
- It's a great job to have dynamically page inside the tab control

This product is good, why this feature doesn't work in VS2003 ?

I hope this will be corrected soon.

Daniel

OK, but I work on this problem for 2 days before posting here.

And it becomes urgent for me because I can't work on my application.

There are simple steps:

1. create MDI application, put TabControl on frmDocument

2. Put Panel1, Panel2 on the frmDocumnet (future tabs) add some controls on them.

3. add this member:

Sub CreateTabs()

Me.Controls.Remove(Panel1)

wndTabControl1.Controls.Add(Panel1)

wndTabControl1.InsertItem(0, "TabWorkspace", Panel1.Handle.ToInt32, 300)

Me.Controls.Remove(Panel2)

wndTabControl1.Controls.Add(Panel2)

wndTabControl1.InsertItem(1, "TabControl", Panel2.Handle.ToInt32, 300)

End Sub

4. _after you create documnet_ call its CreateTabs member:

 

Sub LoadNewDoc()

Dim frmDocument As frmDocument = New frmDocument()

frmDocument.MdiParent = Me

frmDocument.Show()

frmDocument.CreateTabs()

End Sub

Hello,

it's really better to use.

It remains a bug with this solution, if we open a second (or more) document the tabs of the first document disappear. It's the same if we resize the window. This in the case of TabControl is marked as 'Fill' in it's dock property. If it is not marked as fill all seem to be good.

But if we do like this :
- open a document
- click another tab than the first
- open another document
- the tabs of the first don't disappear

Stange, isn't it ?

I will try to click programmatically.

Daniel

I can't reproduce it, may be you set some another options.... May be you can attach your project/new simple application to show this bug?

Hello,

I modify the tabmanager project a little.

I have two panels the first with a grid (MSExcel) and the second with a chart (MSChart).

The problem arises when dock property is set to "fill" for all the components : the tab, the two panels, the grid and the chart.

Create some docs, play with there, click the tabs, click the document and not after a long time tabs disappear.


PS : In reality, I will use TeeChart and a grid in tests.

Hello,

it seems that if I set the dock property :
- to 'Fill' for the tabControl and for my components inside the panels
- and to 'None' for the panels it's work perfectly

So I get exactly what I want since the beginning.

I want to thank you for your help and your patience.
