How to clear the compile error in Windows Forms TabControlAdv?
Clear the compilation error
The 'Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools.TabControlAdv' namespace does not contain a definition for NavigationControl.
The NavigationControl property has been changed as TabPrimitives for v.4.4. TabPrimitives provides more flexibility and it allows users to add any number of buttons in the TabPanel.
You can comment out the NavigationControl related code in the designer generated code and compile the solution to make it work properly
To work with TabPrimitives
TabPrimitives can be made visible by setting TabPrimitivesHost.Visible property to true.
TabPrimitivesHost

To add the TabPrimitives programatically,
C#
using Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools; this.tabControlAdv1.TabPrimitivesHost.Visible = true; this.tabControlAdv1.TabPrimitivesHost.TabPrimitives.Add(new TabPrimitive(TabPrimitiveType.FirstTab, null, Color.Empty, true, 1, "TabPrimitive0")); this.tabControlAdv1.TabPrimitivesHost.TabPrimitives.Add(new TabPrimitive(TabPrimitiveType.PreviousPage, null, Color.Empty, true, 1, "TabPrimitive1")); this.tabControlAdv1.TabPrimitivesHost.TabPrimitives.Add(new TabPrimitive(TabPrimitiveType.PreviousTab, null, Color.Empty, true, 1, "TabPrimitive2")); this.tabControlAdv1.TabPrimitivesHost.TabPrimitives.Add(new TabPrimitive(TabPrimitiveType.NextTab, null, Color.Empty, true, 1, "TabPrimitive3")); this.tabControlAdv1.TabPrimitivesHost.TabPrimitives.Add(new TabPrimitive(TabPrimitiveType.NextPage, null, Color.Empty, true, 1, "TabPrimitive4")); this.tabControlAdv1.TabPrimitivesHost.TabPrimitives.Add(new TabPrimitive(TabPrimitiveType.NextPage, null, Color.Empty, true, 1, "TabPrimitive5")); this.tabControlAdv1.TabPrimitivesHost.TabPrimitives.Add(new TabPrimitive(TabPrimitiveType.Close, null, Color.Empty, true, 1, "TabPrimitive6"));
C#
// To generate click events for custom TabPrimitiveType
private void tabControlAdv1_TabPrimitiveClick (object sender, Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools.TabPrimitiveClickEventArgs e)
{
if (e.TabPrimitive.Name == "TabPrimitive7")
{
// Add the code here.
}
}
