Tab control problem

[Rotsey]

Hi,

I have a combobox on a tab control the 2nd tab that does
not behave properly.

When I try to set the selectedindex by iterating
the items collection I get cmb.Items.Count = 0.
This is a custom funciotn to set the index
from a value code is below.
But if i put the same combobox directly on the form
it works fine.

Any ideas????

public void FindByValue(string value, string columnname)

{

int aIndex;

DataRowView drv;

if (this.Name == "PayFrequency")

Console.WriteLine("");

ComboDebug.Instance.list.Add(this.Name + " ---- NumItems: " +
this.Items.Count);

for (aIndex = 0; aIndex < this.Items.Count; aIndex += 1)

{

try

{

drv = (DataRowView)this.Items[aIndex];

if (drv.Row[columnname].ToString() == value)

{

this.SelectedIndex = aIndex;

return;

}

}

catch (Exception)

{

if(this.Items[aIndex].ToString() == value)

{

this.SelectedIndex = aIndex;

return;

}

}

}

this.SelectedIndex = -1;

return;

//throw new Exception("Could not find value '" + value + "' in combobox " +
this.Name);

}

Well I could not find an answer must be a bug.

so instead I had to implement my own tab control using
panels and buttons and it works great.

That damn m_______t
