Tab Controls Part II

[MartinCroft]

Tabcontrols seem to be black art, there does not seem to be much usual info around for them

I wanted to hide & show certain tabs thats been answered
but when I hide and show the tab that has been shown does not get the focus

I would have thought

tabcontrol.focus()

or even

TabControl.TabPages.Item(1).Focus()

but nothing makes any difference

anyonce know how i can by clicking on button
call any tab within the collection

Cheers

TabControl1.TabPages.Remove(TabPage2) 'to hide
TabControl1.TabPages.Add(TabPage2) 'to show
TabControl1.SelectedTab = TabPage2 'to select it


When you add the hiden tabpage in the collection then it will be shown at the end. So you can also do something like the next:

TabControl1.SelectedIndex = (TabControl1.TabPages.Count - 1)

Mysticmart,
I am not sure if this answers your question but have you tried the following
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim page As TabPage
page = TabControl1.SelectedTab()
If page.Name = "TabPage1" Then
TabControl1.SelectedTab = TabPage2
Else
TabControl1.SelectedTab = TabPage1
End If
End Sub
To select other tabs just increase the if statement or change it to a 'Select' statement

cheers,
