TabControl Change event

[Jason Rangle]

I am not sure how to use this even properly. When I have it as follows I
have to click on the tabPage1 for anything to show. TIA.

namespace TabLayout
{
public partial class TabLayout : Form
{
public TabLayout()
{
InitializeComponent();
}

private void tabPage1_Change(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
lblSomeLabel.Text = "TESTING";
}
}
}

Well, for starters, I think that you want the SelectedIndexChanged
event of the TabControl, because the TabPage doesn't have a Change
event...?

[Jason Rangle]

Yeah, looks like I do. I can't figure out how to use it. Any snip you can
give me?

In the Visual Studio Designer, open the Properties sliding toolbox and
pin it.

Select the TabControl. Double-check at the top of the Properties pane
that you have the TabControl selected and not a TabPage.

Click on the lightning bolt on the Properties pane.

Double-click beside the entry that says SelectedIndexChanged. Visual
Studio will wire the event for you and create an event handler method,
then switch you to Code view with your cursor inside the method body.

Enter whatever code you want to execute when the selected tab changes.

Note that this code won't run when the tab control is first shown; only
when the selection changes. So, you'll have to set things up for the
default tab page (the first one) to show properly when the form is
first loaded.

Thank you so much Bruce, that is exactly where I needed you to put me. I
appreciate it.
