Hello,
I'm working on a windows application with C#, I reorganized a screen using the TabControl with 3 TabPages.
Here's my problem, when I want to do something (printing, reading, etc) with a control in any TabPage that has not been opened (clicked on), I got nothing, the controls at this point have not been created, not until I click (manually or programatically ) on the TabPage. Right now I have it working going through all tabpages programatically then back to the one that was open originally, but you can see the tabs changing, and this is kind of annoying.
How can I use the controls in the whole screen without having to open the tabs one by one?.
The controls are data binded by the way.
Hope you can help me with this one.
Thanks.

Instead of dragging your controls onto your page, declare them in your C# code.
In your Page Load control make sure you place the controls into the appropriate tabs and also make sure that these controls are properly instantiated.
When you call your print function, use the controls that you've declared in your C# code to create your report (they should already be loaded by this point).

Hey,
Is there any major difference when doing this? I always believed that controls were created when the InitializeCompo nent function was called, is this correct?
If so, doesn't that mean that the controls are created before OnLoad?
Sorry if this is crazy talk, but i always thought that it worked like this...

You're right cloud.
I only made the suggestion because the OP is having problems with accessing data in their controls.

Hi,
I've a tabcontrol that contains many similar tabpages (exactly the same
structure with different information), the tabpages number isn't known in
the design time it depends of the data.
Is there a way to clone ( copy the structure) a tabpage to create anew one
by code?
thanks.

Hi,
I have a TabControl and, at runtime, I need to add some tabpages. The
problem is that each tabpage is similar to the others and contains several
controls.
If I do TabControl.TabPages.Add(MyTabPage), a new BLANK tabpage is added.
How can I add in few statements a new tabpage as well as its controls
(textboxes, labels, etc.)? The first tabpage (that I create at design time)
is the "template" to be used for the other tabpages. Is...

I am looking to have 2 Tab Controls on a Windows Forms.. One with Tabs on
Top and another with Tabs on the side... I want them both to occupy the
entire area of the form, but I need the Tab Headers to be visible for both
of them .. at all times... How do I accomplish this?
Also can One Tab control have Tab Headers on Top and Side.. at the same
time?..That might solve this problem easily :-)

Hi,
I want to create an asp.net page with a tabpage. On the tabpage I want
to use the WebDateChooser and WebDataInput controls of Infragistics.
These 2 controls use a mask to enter a date and bankaccountnummber, so
that no invalid date or bankaccountnumber can be inputted.
I started out with the tabcontrol of infragistics. But I also want to
use the atlas update panel, and this gives conflicts when used together
with the infragistics...

Hello gurus,
I want to have a Form with a TabControl, this TabControl will contain
TabPage that has controls in it, this TabPage is prepared at design time.
I want in runtime to duplicate the TabPage that wad made during the design
time together with all its controls, but without the controls data.
Is there an easy way to do that?

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
