TabControlAdv drawItem event

[Anisha Menon]

Hi,
In my application , i'm using TabControlAdv.
I want to invoke the draw item events for all its tabs at certain points in my code.
How do i do that ?

this is the issue i'm having:
when i add tabs dynamically and the scroll button is present, then the tabs added after the scroll button appears, dont get invoked by the drawItem event on the tabControlAdv on my parent form.

Apart from this, i'd still like to know if i can trigger redrawing on my tab control tab pages.

thanks,
anisha

Hi Anisha,

Thank you for using Syncfusion products.

1) You can invoke the drawitem event of all tabs using the following cide snippet.

this.tabControlAdv1.DrawItem+=new Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools.DrawTabEventHandler(tabControlAdv1_DrawItem);

2) I am not able to reproduce this issue. Run the below sample in which you could see the drawitem event raised for newly added tabs.

3) Do you want to have redrawing event for all tabs? Please provide more information.

Hi,
thanks for that. i already use it.
but i need to invoke drawitems for all the tabs.

i noticed that in the round of draw items called when the tabscroll button appears , the number of times draw item is called equals the number of tabs, but the control collection for tabcontroladv is tabs+1(the tabscroll button).

so till the next round of drawitems are called, my new tab remains unrefreshed

Hi Anisha,

I am able to reproduce this issue at my end.

Could you please create a Direct-Trac incident with the subject "DrawItem event is not invoked for the tabs that are added after tab scroll button- F63345" so that we could give more details regarding the fix?

Hi ,


I have a TabControlAdv control and i have added 3 tabpages to it.
On some criteria i want to repaint only the 3rd tabpage's tabname
i.e tab header .

So for that purpose i call drawitem event of TabControlAdv control but it never gets fired. And how do i paint the tab page's header ?


So can someone pls advice ?

Hi Neetu,

Thanks for the update.

We have developed a simple sample to demonstrate how to change the Header Text for the required TabPage. Please check with the same from the following link.

[Neetu]

so what was the solution for this issue ?

Hi Neetu,

Apologies for the delay in responding,

Both the behaviors you have reported were not reproduced on our end against the version 9.2.0.137.
I have attached the sample used to test this behavior, you can notice the text in tab at index 2 is always 'Owner drawn' which is handled by the DrawItem event, and in the output window you can find DrawItem event is invoked for all the visible tabs.

Will you please check the sample to see if these issues were reproducible on you end, if it exists please let me know the steps to reproduce and your Essential Studio version.

Regards
Vallarasu S.
