Create TabPages at runtime (with controls)

[Luc]

Hi,

I have a TabControl and, at runtime, I need to add some tabpages. The
problem is that each tabpage is similar to the others and contains several
controls.

If I do TabControl.TabPages.Add(MyTabPage), a new BLANK tabpage is added.
How can I add in few statements a new tabpage as well as its controls
(textboxes, labels, etc.)? The first tabpage (that I create at design time)
is the "template" to be used for the other tabpages. Is there a way at
runtime to duplicate the first tabpage and create new tabpages based on this
one (including controls)? Also: how can I reference (at runtime) the newly
created tabpages and their controls?

Thanks,

Luc

You could create a Usercontrol and put it on the first TabPage. Then, at
runtime, create new instances of the Tabpage and the Usercontrol.

Or, derive your own class from the Tabpage class, but you won't be able to
use a designer to design it.
