tabpage and inheritance

[Sam]

Hi,
I need to add programmatically several tabpages to a tab control. Those
tabpages are all the same (i.e they contain a textbox and a listbox,
and a button).

How can I create my own tab control so that when I add a tabpage, it
will add also the other components ?

Regards

Actually I've found out. I've inherited the tabpage control and created
a user control. Works just fine

Sam,

And how do you go about adding these into a TabControl?

I've succeeded in creating my own TabPage derivatives, but
/haven't/ yet found any way of using the Forms Designer to add
them into a TabControl - I always have to "hack" the Designer
-generated Source Code.

TIA,
Phill W.

Phill,
Each of my tabpages is a user control inherited from the tabpage base
control.
To add one to my tab, I just do:

'my custom tabPage
Dim tabPage As QueryTabPage

'add the tabpage to the tab control
myTabCtrl.Controls.Add(tabPage)

and it should work just fine...
I don't use the designer to add my tabpages,but what would be the point
anyway...

cheers
