a little problem about TabControl

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

   I showed a property form, which has a TabContrl,  in Main form.
and when i closed the property form, the Main form should get the focus.
but in fact, it's not. the Main form was sent to back and disappeared. 
why?
attached file is a project that demonstrated the problem:

	if i delete all InsertItem statements of the TabControl. The property form acts correctly. shouldn't i add page into the TabControl?

	I found a temporary solution for this problem. calling a frmMain.Show to take the Main Form to foreground after unload the frmProperty can avoid this problem for the moment. but it's not a good idea, the Main Form flicked obviously. Does anybody has a better idea?

	2005-04-22_033337_1.ZIP Actually, for TabControl we recommend to use Controls from same form as children. As advantage it enables Tab Order of form.

	thanks, but your sample project in samples\Common\TabManager used different forms as child forms. a misleading sample...
