Selecting Tab Pages in Design Mode (3.0.1.0)

[vbaker]

After upgrading to 3.0.1.0, when in design mode I can no longer select different tab pages on the tabControlAdv by just clicking on the desired tab. Instead, I have to select the desired tab page from the pulldown in the Properties window.

Is this the way it is supposed to work now?

It''s not just a designer issue, I got the same problem in my application.

Had to add some ugly code to fix it:

internal class TabControlFocusFix : Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools.TabControlAdv
{

public override bool ValidateFocusedTab()
{
return true;
}
}

Hi Martin,

If you are not able to switch tabs at runtime, you could resolve this by setting the following property to true :

tabControlAdv1.FocusOnTabClick = true;

Let me know if this does not help. We will also set this property to TRUE by default in our future releases. We appreciate your interest in Syncfusion products.
