wierd tabcontrol behavior

[SixFeet6]

I have a Tabcontrol in a smart device project and it seems when porting the exe to the pocket pc that the tabs are changed in order.

In my collection i have order: Adm, Ins, Dek, Sch, Kam and Ldg

when starting the program i get order: Adm, Ins, Kam, Ldg, Dek and Sch

There is NO code that handles the order of tabs or whatever.

It's driving me mad !


thx

This is a known issue with VS NET.
The only solid workaround (that I heard of anyway) is to remove all the tabs and add them again thru code on form load or something.

ok, but does this main i have to add all controls of the tabpages too using code ??


Are you saying I have to create the forms at run-time ?

No. Only the tabpages.

Something like this:

Private Sub Form1_Load.....
TabControl1.TabPages.Clear()
TabControl1.TabPages.Add(TabPage1)
TabControl1.TabPages.Add(TabPage2)
TabControl1.TabPages.Add(TabPage3)
.
.
.
End Sub

Then the tabs will be placed correctly, and you can still use the designer to make your tabpages. Just disregard the order while designing.

If HisAnswerHelped=True Then
Msgbox ("Thank You !")
End If

it's works great !!!

but the text on the TAB is gone, how do I set the text of each Tab ?

That's strange.

I don't understand why that is cleared. Mine is just fine.
Maybe it has something to do with Smart Devices. I'm just testing a regular Windows Forms Application.

Anyway, there should be a property called Text on the tabpage that you can set.

TabPage1.Text="WhatEver"
