Tab control click event

[SuperSparks]

This should be a simple enough thing to do:

Private Sub tabClock_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles tabClock.Click
 
        tmrOne.Enabled = True       ' start main clock timer
' more code to go here
 
 
    End Sub             ' tabClock_Click

All I want to do is to start the timer when a particular tab is clicked, but the timer never starts. I put a breakpoint in the first line of code and the break never happens, which suggests that the click event is being completely ignored.

I've hunted high and low in MSDN Library for what's going on, to no avail. Have any of you guys got any ideas?

One way

Private Sub TabControl1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TabControl1.SelectedIndexChanged
 
        If Me.TabControl1.SelectedIndex = 0 Then
            MsgBox("you clicked TabPage1")
        End If
    End Sub

Thanks Pirate,

That does work, though it also has the annoying side effect of executing that code when the app is started. I expect I can work round that if I have to.

I'm still curious as to why the Click event doesn't work, though. Is it a bug or do I need to do something else to make it work?

This will work , I mean it won't show anything unless the tabpage is completely shown .

Private Sub TabControl1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TabControl1.SelectedIndexChanged
        Dim indx As Integer = Me.TabControl1.SelectedIndex
        If indx = 0 AndAlso Me.TabControl1.TabPages(indx).Focus = True Then
            MsgBox("blah")
        End If
    End Sub

Excellent, that'll do nicely

Thanks again Pirate.
