TabControl Context Functionality Disabled


Hi,
I'm using visual basic.net 2003 and in two separate projects now i have
encountered a frustrating issue where all context menu functionality (copy,
paste, delete etc) is disabled on a TabControl in a windows form.
I have scoured the internet searching for a solution, and have noted several
similar posts but no real solution to the problem.
Has anyone encountered this before and figured out how to fix it? or is there
a fix that i need to download?

I have created a blank project to verify that it isnt just the one project
and the same happens, as soon as i add several controls on the form, switch
to code view, write some code, switch back to design view i find that the
context menu functionality dissapears...yo u can't even use the Delete key.
Someone suggested deleting the .suo file, which i did but to no avail.

Any assistance will be appreciated,
Regards
Graeme

Hi, All - I'd like to ba able to change the BackColor on the StatusBar and TabControl from it standard grey to white for a particular app. With all the Drawing capabilities in dotNet it must be possible, and these controls have an overridable BackColor property - can anyone explain or post code on how to go about it? Thanks, Peter

Hey all, I'm having a bit of an issue with the TabControl (1.0.5000.0) under Visual Studio .NET 2003... Was wondering if anyone had seen it before... Basically, I have drawn a TabControl, and then added 8 pages to the TabPages collection... Once I do that, I draw a set of eight TextBox's and eight Label's.

I have a tabcontrol that has several attached tabpage's. Not all of the tabpages should be accessible at all times. Ideally I'd like to do one of the following: - hide those tab pages that should not currently be accessible OR - change the font on the tab for the tabpages that are disabled (like gray them out or something) as a means of user feedback that they're inactive

I have a Windows Form project with a TabControl-based window. After adding a second tab, I can no longer copy/paste/delete controls, either on the original tab or after they have been added to any tab in any form. These options are disabled from menus for this form only (others are ok). Anyone know why this might be happening? I experimented by deleting the second tab through the Properties window, closed Visual Studio, and re-opened my...

Hi all! I have 4 pages in a TabControl. Depending on a selection on the first page, I enable the second page and disable the third one, and vice-versa. What I want is that when the user try to select the disabled page I select the following one. For example, if the second page is disabled, if he select this one, I want to select the third page. I tried to use Selecting event, using "e.Cancel==true" to the disabled page

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.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
