Textbox -> Tabs

[DarkArchon]

I'm writing a simple text viewer whereby double clicking an item in a given listbox loads the appropriate text in a textbox. Now I need to be able to double click on multiple items from the listbox and display them each in a different tab, what is the easiest way of doing this?

• Select the listbox property selectionmode = multisimple .
• You should write your selection code in a command button.
• Use a for loop to place all selected text in the textbox.

All the best.
Note: you should give appropriate topic “How Do I Select Multiple rows in listbox control ” followed by your C# or VB .Net Code version.

If you want to put your results in tabs, you can use the TabControl.

Here is a method I wrote to add tabs to a tab control. I added some code to add a textbox to the tab, but you'll need to customize that part.

//c#, but you can convert to VB easily if you need to
//using statements
.
.
.
private int tabCount = 2; //how ever many tabs that you start with
.
.
//constructors
.
.
private void CreateNewTab(string tabTitle, string textForTextBox)
{
    tabControl1.TabPages.Add("tab" + tabCount, tabTitle); 
    tabControl1.TabPages[tabCount].CreateControl();
    tabControl1.TabPages[tabCount].BackColor = Color.White;
    TextBox tb = new TextBox();
    tb.Text = textForTextBox;
    tabControl1.TabPages[tabCount].Controls.Add(tb);
    tb.Left = 10;
    tb.Top = 10;
    tabCount++;
}
