You're in the
dotnet windows forms
group:tab pages in IDE
dotnet windows forms:
tab page from within the IDE and place controls on it. I used to be able to
The problem is this --- I can drop controls onto the 1st tab page with no
problem. If I try to select the 2nd tab page, by double clicking it, I go immediately into the source code. The IDE is not letting me set focus to the 2nd or subsequent tabs on the tabcontrol. This is frustrating because I know it's possible. I've used tabcontrols with multiple tab pages in the past. Why wont the IDE let me click onto the other tab pages anymore? Help?

Yes - that was the first thing I did ....
Once I build the executable, I can click on a tab page and it works fine. Problem with that is there are no controls on that page, because I can't get there within the IDE. [quoted text, click to view] "Herfried K. Wagner [MVP]" wrote:

Select the other tab pages by single clicking on them. Double-clicking
will always create a default method in code. Hope this might help [quoted text, click to view] vbtrying wrote:

I doubt that you're going to get the response that you want here.
Single clicking on a tab should cause the TabControl to change it's selection to the associated TabPage. You must then click on the TabPage to select it in the Designer as clicking on a tab selects the TabControl and not the TabPage. If this is not the behavior that you are seeing, then there is an error in your development environment (assuming that you're using a standard tabcontrol). -- Mick Doherty http://dotnetrix.co.uk/nothing.html
I have tried a single click - it does not work. I have been using VB since
version 4.0 and this is not normal behavior by a control. Does anybody have a solution? [quoted text, click to view] "Michael Wong" wrote:

I FOUND THE RESOLUTION !!!
If you create a new form and add the tabcontrol BEFORE you add the taskpane (from vbpowerpack), it works. If you add the taskpane BEFORE you add the tabcontrol, the tabcontrol does not function the way it should. [quoted text, click to view] "Mick Doherty" wrote:

After looking through the Active bugs I see that you cannot edit menus either. Both of these problems are related and it took just a few minutes to find the error, so I have no Idea why the original author has not fixed it after several months. The problem and the fix are shown below so you can modify the source and fix your version, but I didn't look too hard at the code so there may be 1001 other problems that need sorting out ;) in the OnSelectionChanged() method you'll see this code: \\\ If Not selsvc Is Nothing Then c = selsvc.PrimarySelection If Not c Is Nothing Then tf = CType(c, TaskFrame) If Not tf Is Nothing Then Me.m_lastFrameSelected = tf tf.Parent.Refresh() End If End If End If /// Change it as follows: \\\ If Not selsvc Is Nothing Then c = selsvc.PrimarySelection If Not c Is Nothing Then If TypeOf c Is TaskFrame Then '<-- Added extra check tf = CType(c, TaskFrame) If Not tf Is Nothing Then Me.m_lastFrameSelected = tf tf.Parent.Refresh() End If End If End If End If /// -- Mick Doherty http://dotnetrix.co.uk/nothing.html
