IDE : VB 6.0

Suite Control v.15.0.1

The NavigateButtonClick event of the TabControl control seems to return always 2 as the ID of the tab being closed

Sample code (put 1 commandbutton and 1 tabcontrol on a form)

Private Sub Command1_Click()

Dim newTab As TabControlItem

TabControl1.ShowCloseItemButton = xtpTabItemButtonAlways

TabControl1.RemoveAll

Set newTab = TabControl1.InsertItem(0, "1st tab", 0, 0)

newTab.Closable = True

Set newTab = TabControl1.InsertItem(0, "2nd tab", 0, 0)

newTab.Closable = True

Set newTab = TabControl1.InsertItem(0, "3rd tab", 0, 0)

newTab.Closable = True

End Sub

Private Sub TabControl1_NavigateButtonClick(ByVal Id As Long, Cancel As Variant)

MsgBox "Closing tab " & Id ' this displays always "2"

Cancel = True

End Sub

On the manual i've read

Id : Id of the tab navigation button that was clicked.

It's a bug or it's normal?

Thanks

Thanks Oleg,

actually i've set ShowCloseItemButton = xtpTabItemButtonSelected and i'm using SelectedItem to detect the clicked tab

Is it possible to retrieve also the clicked tab id using ShowCloseItemButton = xtpTabItemButtonAlways or another way to detect the tab that is being closed?

and also when u close an item using the closebutton... how do u get the actual itemcount of the tab?

Private Sub TabControl1_NavigateButtonClick(ByVal Id As Long, Cancel As Variant)

MsgBox TabControl1.ItemCount

End Sub

this always return the actual itemcount (not deducting the tab that you closed). does anybody know how to get the itemcount inside navigatebuttonclick event?

Hi, i have the same Problem: how to detect the tab id/index that is being closed

Private Sub TabControl1_NavigateButtonClick(ByVal Id As Long, Cancel As Variant)

MsgBox TabControl1.Selected.Index '<- Nup, thats the active, not the closing tab index!!

End Sub

Hi cmaxmedia,

This strange solution was because in first implementation of TabManager there was only one set of navigation buttons for all tabs (separately in tab header). Then navigate buttons were added for every tab, but NavigateButtonClick event stayed the same.

I fixed it by adding reference to closed TabControlItem in NavigateButtonClick event. Fix will be available from next beta or final release.
