Hi all,

If I have a main form with a TabControl and this method:

protected void NewTab()
{
TabPage newTab;
newTab = new TabPage();
newTab.BackColor = System.Drawing.SystemColors.Window;
newTab.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(498, 400);

RichTextBox richTextBox;
richTextBox = new PoccoRichTextBox();

newTab.Controls.Add(richTextBox);
tabControl.Controls.Add(newTab);
}

This adds a TabPage as I want, but then I find I am stuck not knowing
howto reference things.

How could I expand the above so that I can insert text into the textBox
and bring the tab to the front of the TabControl?

Your help would be great.

Hi,

IIRC that code will give you error, you cannot add a TabPage to the Control
collection of the tabcontrol, you have to use TabPages

In order to select it do
tabcontrol.SelectedIndex = tabControl.TabPages.Count -1;


cheers,

Hi Ignacio,

Thank you for your response. I found this useful:
tabcontrol.SelectedIndex = tabControl.TabPages.Count -1;
Click to expand...

....but I didn't quite understand this:

you cannot add a TabPage to the Control collection of the tabcontrol,
you have to use TabPages?

It seems to work when I do it??
