It worked fine until I added the fourth tab, then even if I removed the tab, it still did it.

Its not a big deal since the order of the tabs in my app is not a big deal. Just thought I'd mention it.

Take a look at the designer generated code, it's probably adding the tabs in that order (2, 3, 1, 4)... If you change the designer code to the order you want it should work.

Re: [.NET 2.0+] Visual Studios "My Project" Tab Control (Updated! 12/9/2009)

I am using Visual Basic 2010 Ultimate to design a simple project. I need to design a vertical Tab control and on trying to search the Net i found what your TabControlProperty is capable of, which is exactly what I need to do.
I downloaded the file and followed your instructions on how to use it but unfortunately it couldn't work for my project. Would you please help/advise me on how to make it work for my project?

Well, what didn't work? That's the most generic issue is that "It didn't work". Well, did you get any error messages? Did you Build the project once to make sure that Visual Studio recognized the attached DLL?

Re: [.NET 2.0+] Visual Studios "My Project" Tab Control (Updated! 12/9/2009)

I re-built the project as you instructed. After rebuilding it, there were more than 100 errors all over the project and I could access any of my forms anylonger. What I can remember is that one the error it gave was that "VisualStudiosTabControl.vb" is not an object of my project. I removed it from the project but still the whole project was buggy and I had to restart it. I still want the VisualStudiosTabControl.vb any way. My be I will have to load it in one on my test projects capture some of the errors for you.

Thanks

Re: [.NET 2.0+] Visual Studios "My Project" Tab Control (Updated! 12/9/2009)
So you downloaded the file (the .vb file) and went into your project and chose: Project > Add Existing Item then you navigated to the file. Then you added it. Then you rebuilt the project and got errors? Please provide additional information such as:
1. Your target framework
2. Error information/details (what errors)
3. Possible screen shots
4. References used in the project

Everytime i rebuild it i have a couple warning. but it seems to work fine. i can't find the visualstudiostabcontrolskindesigner thing though. do you mind if i post a video on how i installed your tabcontroller to see if i did everything correct and you could also see the errors i get?

Re: [.NET 2.0+] Visual Studios "My Project" Tab Control (Updated! 12/9/2009)
Seems a lot of people are having trouble adding the correct reference to the project, adding the tab control files to their project & finally adding the tabs they want, perhaps I should post a solution that they can just copy.

To produce this here's the steps I did in the order I did them:
- Created a project
- Added the VSTabControl.vb file to the project
  - Right clicked the project name in solution explorer
  - Select Add
  - Select Existing Item
  - Select the VSTabControl.vb file
- Added the System.Design dll reference to the project
  - Right click the project name in solution explorer
  - Select Properties
  - Select Reference (from the left side)
  - Click add
  - Select Reference
  - On the .Net tab scroll down to System.Design
  - Click OK
- Built the project
  - On the build menu, select Build Solution
- Add the control to the form, two tabpages are there by default
- Added the two labels, one to each tab
If you use the project I provided, you'll need to build the solution the first time you open the project so the form will display correctly. I had to remove the binaries to post it here & when you open it the first time VS can't display the form correctly because none of the binaries are present yet.

Re: [.NET 2.0+] Visual Studios "My Project" Tab Control (Updated! 12/9/2009)

Updated the control so that the tab's heights could be changed. This is all done through the Inflation property. TabWidthInflation property has been removed.

Also fixed a couple bugs and glitches having to do with resizing and proper component selection from the designer.

See screenshot.

One of the things I'm wondering if you could "fix" is whatever tab you have selected at design time is saved to the *.designer.* file, so at run time it's whatever tab you were working on last that's selected and not the first tab (index 0) like a regular tab control does. Is there a way you can have it not save the SelectedIndex property at design time?

Re: [.NET 2.0+] Visual Studios "My Project" Tab Control (Updated! 12/9/2009)

JB, you can stop a property from being serialized to the designer by adding a function ShouldSerialize<property> and return false. The designer will look for this property (and assume true if it doesn't exist). I don't know if ForumAccount has another solution in mind, but this could be a quick fix you can do yourself.

(In the control's class):

Code:

Private Function ShouldSerializeSelectedIndex() As Boolean Return False End Function

The control should already be serializing the SelectedTabPage to the designer file. When you change what page that is, it should change in the designer file. Can you confirm that it is not? Can you reproduce it? For me, what you describe, works.

I was asking for the opposite of that.

Currently it is putting it in the designer file, it always has been and I'm asking that you make it NOT save it in the designer file, like how a regular tab control works.

No. I'll think about possibly doing that.

New version fixes that.

Updated the control again to properly implement the functionality of disabling a tab page. Disabling a tab page makes it so that a user cannot click the tab and the text and image will be drawn disabled. Logic has been added to select the first enabled tab page (starting at index 0) of the tab control at run time.

Another thing: I changed the naming scheme from VisualStudios* to VisualStudio*

Sorry guys, error is:

VisualStudioTabPage6 is not declared. It maybe inaccessible due to its protection level.

Also, I can not see it in general drop down. I see VisualStudioTabControl1 but no tabs.

running VS2013 Express and .NET 4.5.1

You have a scope issue, what I would recommend is you create an Enum for each of the tab pages on the form (set the Enum to Friend or Public), then create a function (friend or public) for changing the tabpage with the enum as a parameter. In the function you use the enum to set the tab page.

Thanks JuggaloBrother, but please forgive me ignorance. I know how to setup a enum, but I am not understanding how to use the enum to set the tabpage. have an example that would be great.

In the function you make to set the tab page you do a select case on the enum variable (or a bunch of If.. ElseIf's) and set the corresponding TabPage in that Case (or in the ElseIf).

My changes
Ok ... here is my version ...

Attachment 129157
- I fixed the tab re-ordering thing ... I see that the poster tried to do this ... but they rely on tab names to do the ordering ... instead of the objects themselves, so if you dynamically add the tabs the tabs were still being incorrectly re-ordered
- Uses windows color schemes (don't know why so many people want to make their own up!)
- SelectedTabChanging event added with the option to cancel the change
- Removed the TabTipInnerColor as I think it is pointless
- Changed the tip and "hover border" rendering

Hi!

I downloaded the VisualStudioTabControl.vb, added it to my project, added the System.Design reference and rebuilt but I can't fint it in the Toolbox.
I also get these three errors:
1 Type 'Dictionary' is not defined.
2 'element' is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to its protection level.
3 Type 'List' is not defined.

Any ideas?
I use VS2012

You may need to add a reference to 'System.Collections.Generic'.

Can the tabs direction changed to the right of the tabpages?

This is great

I am using the one modified by i00

Are you able to change font and size of font on tab text, when I tried it made no difference
