Is anyone good with tabs a forms? (C#)

[Ajm113]

Ok, I have dynamic tabs going on my program. So I need to have it so if the user created a new tab with some others he can copy/save or what ever on that tab. So is their a code of some sort that will allow me to do what ever on that tab? Since I am making a text editor all the Rich Text Boxes have the same name so I need to have it so the user may do any changes on the selected textarea on that tab. Any suggestions?

Have you tried giving the Rich Text Boxes different names - rtb1, rtb2 ...?

[Ajm113]

That is another problem! When I do have it so the text boxes get generated with a name of "rtb1" and "trb2". So that means I have to have script know which text box the user is currently working on. But if the user would delete a tab and create a new one that means the program has to know that so the editor won't be making any changes to the old rtb.

I don't really get your point but I think it's not necessary to identify the selected rich text box, since the selected rich text box is identified itself in Controls collection of the current Form. What should be done is just find the current rich text box that got Focused and take it from Controls collection, then you can do anything with it.

cheers.

Ok example: If i was playing a game that allows me to create people in a room, but since they all can only be named "Joe". I can't talk to a specific one with out them all doing something for me with out having to select them. So I have to select them then tell the one I selected what to do. Like "get coffee." Since I can create tabs with rtbs with the same name. I have to have the program know which rtb I want to do any work on. With the current tab selected. Like if I wanted to paste from the clipboard to my script that I am using on my program. So with out the selection of what rtb I am working on. the clipboard will be pasted on all of my rtb's on each tab. So how do I create a blockage that disables the flow of command to all rtbs on each tab that was user created?

#fast question

Created user creatable tabs with same rtb names as the new one.

When I paste any information on the rtb with the user created tab the info will be pasted on all of rtbs with the user created tabs as well!

How do I stop this!

Ok Let's play your game, I just add some rules to your game and some assumptions like below:
ass: There is one big room with several small rooms inside. All small rooms has a door which should be closed, if someone wants to come in a room, he/she has to open its door and leave it open. Then she/he moves to another room, he/she has to close the door behind and open the door to the room to get in. The bottom line is there is only one room will be opened at a time, the other's doors are closed. There only one people named Joe in a small room.
Now is solution:
You want to ask Joe in the selected room to get coffee, what you have to do is you have to look for the opened door room, then ask the Joe in that room to do the job. By this way, you can't get confused from Joe to Joe because there is only one Joe in one room and there is only one room that has opened door.

cheer.

Yeah that looks better but I don't know where you are going off talking about the 'ass' part. You already have something against me all the sudden? Just kidding...

oh, ok then. Doesn't anyone know what I am working on or something? At least one person or two has gotten to create dynamic control tabs with rtbs in their programs for a text editor! I have been asking all over the place, but no help!

Doesn't anyone want to support of their knowledge on C# on tab control to help more support in the future? For new users that may ask the same question when you are not on the forum and I may help them out to keep this tree of knowledge growing!
