instantiate

[Anne Thorne]

Hi,

I need to have the ability to create and instantiate Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools.TabPageAdv Tabs dynamically and programmatically at run time depending on user interactions.

Here is the situation. There will be many types of products that a user may add to their order via an application I am writing whose UI uses Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools.TabPageAdv Tabs.

Up until now, I knew what Tabs to have in the UI, but now I don't want to have to code many other potential tabs, if the user is not going to use them.

I want to be able to do something like this:

If the user presses a button (based on other settings the user has indicated elsewhere in the application), I want to do the following:


private void frmEnhancedSetTemplate_btnSubmit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string sNameOfNewTabPgAdv = "pg" + frmEnhancedSetTemplate.TypeOfSet + "_" + frmEnhancedSetTemplate.MasterProduct + "_" + frmEnhancedSetTemplate.Currency;

Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools.TabPageAdv sNameOfNewTabPgAdv = new Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools.TabPageAdv();

sNameOfNewTabPgAdv.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(1, 29);
sNameOfNewTabPgAdv.Name = sNameOfNewTabPgAdv;
sNameOfNewTabPgAdv.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(877, 0);
sNameOfNewTabPgAdv.Text = "Standard Cart";
sNameOfNewTabPgAdv.Enabled = false;
this.arbTab1.Controls.Add(this.pgHostSpecial);
sNameOfNewTabPgAdv.Enabled.TabVisible = true;
this.arbTab1.SelectedTab = sNameOfNewTabPgAdv;
}

The problem is that I want to create the new TabPageAdv not within the method, but higher up in the class so it can be accessed throughout the whole class, and I know I can't give name it with a string.. but I want it's name to be dynamic.

I hope this makes sense :(

I may just need to create all possible TabPageAdv Tabs at design time :( but I'd rather not do that.

I hope someone can help me.

Thanks!
:) Anne

Oops I should have named the Subject:

Declare and Instantiate TabPageAdv On the Fly

I thought the form posting utility would let me view my post first.

Thanks!

Wow!!! I'm really not doing very good today in posting this question. Here is better code -- my cut and paste made some errors before in what I was trying to ask:

private void frmEnhancedSetTemplate_btnSubmit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string sNameOfNewTabPgAdv = "pg" + frmEnhancedSetTemplate.TypeOfSet + "_" + frmEnhancedSetTemplate.MasterProduct + "_" + frmEnhancedSetTemplate.Currency;

Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools.TabPageAdv sNameOfNewTabPgAdv = new Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools.TabPageAdv();

sNameOfNewTabPgAdv.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(1, 29);
sNameOfNewTabPgAdv.Name = sNameOfNewTabPgAdv;
sNameOfNewTabPgAdv.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(877, 0);
sNameOfNewTabPgAdv.Text = sNameOfNewTabPgAdv;
sNameOfNewTabPgAdv.Enabled = false;
this.arbTab1.Controls.Add(sNameOfNewTabPgAdv);
sNameOfNewTabPgAdv.Enabled.TabVisible = true;
this.arbTab1.SelectedTab = sNameOfNewTabPgAdv;
}

Thank you again for any help anyone can give me.
