Tab controls help

[truezplaya]

Hi
I am using VB.net 2008 and i am using a tab control i have everything working accept a little thing thats bugging me. I have a tree view which updates both tabs but when i click on the tree view it always flicks back to tab one even if the user has the tab 2 selected. I want it so if the user has selected tab 2 then goes to click on the tree view it will update both tabs but stay on the same tab(tab 2 and not flick back to tab one). Has anyone got any ideas. i thought i could do this by using the
tabcontrol1.selectedtab.show()
am i correct and just putting this code in the wrong place?

cheers in advanced

Unfortunately I can't help you completely since I don't know the exact procedures. What I do know is that if you set a tab control in the VS properties menu(the menu to the bottom left by default on most web applications or forms) that it will automatically overwrite or just not care that you coded something else. Like I said I can't help you fully but that is what I know about it. You might try writing the code of it and setting the property values back to null making it so the code is running it completely.

Sorry if this doesn't help.

If you are writing a web app, you should look at posting the selected form as a value and then selecting the tab based on that value.

If you are writing a windows app you might consider having (yes i will sin now) a global static variable which stores the tab index as an integer, then overwrite the OnClick event of the treeview control to select the appropriate tab.

good luck

cheers for the help uy i managed to crack it soon after i posted by getting the tab names and then comparing it to the selected tab name and then got it to update them both accordingly depending upon which one the user had selected
