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.

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.

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,

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 weresize 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.

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

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.

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

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