TabControl problem

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi there,
   Might be a silly question but am stuck here so got to ask.. !

Is there a place where I could find a sample of the tabcontrol ? Because I cant get it to work properly...

I am using visual studio 2005 with vb.net.
one simple form.. 
a tabcontrol on it ( with 3 tabs.. )
if I put for exemple a button on the tab ( in design time ) I will see this button on all tabs on run time... 

So basically I cant figure out to add my controls on the tabcontrol on design time.. 

Or perhaps this is something that we cannot do?

Thanks

	Hi, Sorry, ActiveX control can't be container for .NET controls in design time. :(

	haaaa. so I was not so stupid then... Ok well in this case this means I have to design the control on the run time... Can you post me a snippet of code that actually shows me how to do that? I mean how to link the control to the tab1 , tab2 etc once the control are created.. Thanks

	Hello, You can create some panels for TabPages, put all controls to panels and manually show/hide them in SelectedChanged event. But think easy to use standard TabControl from .NET. :(

	yeah that would be a solution. But honestly, the only reason why I wanted to use the tabcontrol from the suite was for the "office" style that we could apply on it. I do not know how to apply that style on the standard tabControl.. if this is easily doable and you have a quick way to point me out on how to do that well it would be really appreciated then. Thanks
