Thanks for sharing such a useful control!

You can either compile it into an assembly and reference that, or you can convert it.

i hope ForumAccount still here his great tabcontrol was the reason i knew about this great forum ,so if you still here could you please add 'right to left' property to the tabcontrol , or if someone know how to do it please help me

I'm having really hard time with this VSTabControl and C#.
I've tried to convert it to .cs and use that file as specified with instructions but with no success!
Could someone explain me how to compile it into an assembly and reference that?

This is really awesome... but I don't how to apply those class I download in my code T_T... I create a new just to see if I can do it...

I create a new windows form application and create a new class(with those I downloaded) ... But sadly I fail... (sigh) is there any instruction how to apply those class?...


(edit)

I already solved my problem... thanks for this... I will credit you sir on my project... :))

ForumAccount,

Downloaded and tested your control today. Awesome work! :thumb: :)

Hi, I really like your VSTabControl. It represent exactly what i am looking for. I've tested it in a vb project and it works fine for me.
There is just one issue for me ( a big one). I am now working in a C# project and i want to know how to do to use this vb component in a c# project.
Thanks.

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

See screenshot.

Why won't this .vb file download when clicked on. If I try to download the file is attachment.php

I believe there is some trouble with your internet connection or probably some problem with VBF servers (but am not experiencing any issues while downloading it).

So, try again after some time. :thumb:

Love this control, but when I try to make the whole thing transparent like it shows in the first post, it gets really weird on me and labels from the other tabs start to bleed through. did i miss an easy step? I also can't see how to make the tabs transparent.

oh an dhow do you call a specific tab?

FrmMain.VisualStudioTabControl1.SelectTab(5)

doesn't work

The way I select a specific tab in code is:

vb Code:

VsTabControl1.SelectedTabPage = SpecifcVisualStudiosTabPage

Thanks JuggalBrotha, but it still doesn't like anything after the = sign

vb Code:

FrmMain.VisualStudioTabControl1.SelectedTabPage = VisualStudiosTabPage6
FrmMain.VisualStudioTabControl1.SelectedTabPage = "NameofTab"

I'm unable to replicate this, setting the SelectedTabPage property to the TabPage object itself works for me in both VS2008 (Targeting .Net 2.0) and VS2010 (Targeting .Net 4.0)

If it doesn't like it, then it must be giving you an error, right? What's the error message?

-tg

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

Just a heads up, I can call the tabpage just fine from the main form, FrmMain, just not from any other file

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).

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

Thanks for this control. It is just what I needed.

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

Does any one know how I could draw a line on a tabpage using this ta control
