Tabs re-order themselves

[Tim Jackson]

I have been using the Syncfusion Tab control
and have noticed that at run time the tabs
will re-order themselves from how they appear
at design time. I have created mulitple
instances of a form with this control, and
each instance shows the tab order differently.

Any ideas how to turn off this feature?

Thanks in advance.

I had this happen to me when I went from VS 2002 to VS 2003. In my case they were changed when I got back to the designer after running the app, too.

I manually went through and set order and other properties (can't remember which ones though). That fixed for me (so far!-)

Cheers,
Knut

Hi Arun,

From reaqding your KB article, I can understand the problem is related to the way properties are persisted by the VS.NET designer.

Would it be possible to add additional properties to the tabs where we could specify the order and when the control initializes during design time or run time it would read these ordering properties and order the tabs as required?

Hi Paul
I discussed your suggestion with the Essential Tools Development Team and this has been added as a feature request.
