Moving or inserting a tab

Posted 19 years ago by Domenico

I wrote a simple test application for the TabStrip control.
I want to add a TabStripPage in a given position, but both these instructions


TabStrip1.Pages.Insert(index, tabPage)


TabStrip1.Pages.Add(tabPage)
TabStrip1.Pages.MoveTo(tabPage, index)

always put the tabPage as the last tab, not in the specified position.
Only when I click on an unselected tab, my tabPage goes in the desired position.

I'm using .Net Framework 1.1 and Actipro 2.0.0062.

Thanks

I tried it in our test application in the TabStripForm by putting these lines at the end of the constructor and it worked as expected:

TabStripPage p = new TabStripPage("TEST", "TEST", null);
tabStrip.Pages.Insert(1, p);

Are you able to repro the problem in our sample project? If so, please post how. Thanks!

I was able to reproduce the problem in your sample project. In the TabStripForm I simply add a button and the following code


    Private Sub newTabButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles newTabButton.Click
        Dim p As TabStripPage

        p = New TabStripPage("TEST", "TEST", 0)
        tabStrip.Pages.Insert(1, p)
    End Sub

and the new tab page is always inserted in the last position. Only when a redraw of the TabStrip is needed, the tab goes in the right position.

Thanks

Ahh, I can dupe it now. Must be that in the constructor there still was a layout occurring that worked around the problem.

Ok, this will be fixed for the next maintenance release but in the meantime, add this code right after the insert:

tabStrip.Invalidate(InvalidationLevels.ElementAndChildren, InvalidationTypes.All);

Ok, now it works.
Thank you.

The latest build of this product (v24.1.1) was released 1 month ago, which was after the last post in this thread.
