Targeting a textbox within a TabPage

[robertybob]

Hi,

I've tried all combinations and can't get this to work at all so any help to understand 'controls' is appreciated.

I have a Form
On the Form is a TabControl named myTabs
The TabControl has a number of tabs named sequentially
The first Tab is named Tab1
On Tab1 I have a number of textboxes named sequentially
The first box is named Text1

My problem is how to target Text1 directly?

My current efforts to target any given box on any given tab are based on code such as

Dim tabcontrol As String = "Tab" & a.ToString
Dim textcontrol As String = "Text" & b.ToString
DirectCast(myTabs.Controls(textcontrol), TextBox).Text = "Hello"
 

However nothing seems to target it correctly. Not 'Me.', 'myTabs.', 'Me.myTabs.'...

Any ideas? Thanks!

FInally seem to have solved this with the reference

DirectCast(Me.myTabs.TabPages(tabcontrol).Controls (textcontrol), textbox).Text
