Any safe way to do this?

[Joe]

I need to some how add a page to a tabcontrol. The problem is I have a
single method to bring up the dialog which contains the tabcontrol and
doesn't return until the dialog is closed and I don't have any events for
it.

The only thing I can think of is to start a thread before calling that
method and use FindWindow to get a handle to the dialog and add a page that
way. But, this is not safe...

Any ideas?

Programmatically?

TabPage newPage = new TabPage("New Page");
tabControl1.TabPages.Add(newPage);

-- there are other properties of course that you can set too.

I don't have direct access to the tabcontrol. I only have a single method to
call this dialog. The dialog is coming from a third party library.

Ah, you didn't quite make that part clear in your post. Suggest reading the
vendor's documentation carefully.

Hi Joe,
Welcome to MSDN Newsgroup!

Based on my experience, the best solution for this issue is to modify the
source code of dialog and add the specified code to add page to TabControl.
So I want to confirm whether or not you have this dialog's source code. If
not, I think there may be no safe way to do this except the hacking way,
just like using a thread to get dialog's handle.

I hope the above information is helpful for you. If you have any questions,
please feel free to let me know. Thanks and have a nice day!
