TabPageExt dynamic creation.

In the AdvancedTabbedMDI project the CustomerInfoForm is created at runtime and added or remove to/from the TabbedMDI Manager (A new tab appears in the tabcontrol). How can I do the same thing with the TabControlExt to add a form as a tab?

Hi Otis, Kindly take a look at the XPTabs sample located in the Syncfusion\Essential Suite\Tools\samples\Tabs Package\XPTabs directory. Take a look at the code in Form2_InitProgramatically() which demonstrates how you can create and add tabs using code. Modify the Application's Run() to: Application.Run(new Form2_InitProgramatically()); Does this take care of what you are looking for? Regards, Arun

Thanks for your prompt reply. The example using Form2_InitProgramatically() is not what I want to do. I want to be able to create a form using VS.NET designer and then use that form as a tabpage. I don’t want to have to add the control on the tabpage programmatically. The example AdvancedTabbedMDI does this with a TabbedMDI. I'm need to place this same form as N number of TabPageExt on the TabControlExt.

Hi Odis Here is a code snippet that does what you are looking for: //Form2 Form2 frm2 = new Form2(); frm2.TopLevel = false; //New Tab TabPageExt newtab = newTabPageExt("test"); this.tabControlExt1.Controls.Add(newtab); //Set Form2's parent to be the new tab frm2.Parent = newtab; frm2.Visible = true; frm2.Dock = DockStyle.Fill; Hope this takes care of this issue. Regards Arun

Arun I’m having problems with the code snippet. What class is Form2. The windows Form class doesn’t have the properties you are using Frm2.TopLevel = false; //Set Form2's parent to be the new tab frm2.Parent = newtab; frm2.Visible = true; frm2.Dock = DockStyle.Fill; Just try to add a simple Form to the XPTab example and then add it to the TabControlExt as a new page.

Hi Odis, I am uploading a small sample that does what you are looking for. Form1 has a TabControlAdv with 2 tabs. Form2 is another form in the project. When you click the "Create New Tab and add Form 2" button, a new Tab called "FORM_2" is added to the TabControlAdv with Form2 attached to this Tab. Kindly take a look at the underlying code in the button's click event. Regards Arun

Arun Thanks. It works like a charm. Oids
