Hello all,

I would allow the push of a button located in a User Control from the designer to change the current TabItem of a TabControl.

How can I do ?

Thanks.

Couldn't you have a event for the button click and then set the selected item?

The problem is that I can't click on the button from the designer.

I'm a little confused. Do you want the user to click on the button when the program is running to change the selected tab item?

No, not when the program is running but when it is in design mode.

Ah I see. Something like how Visual Studio helps with some controls with styling and all? I think you might have to customize that button into a custom control and then use it. Someone might be able to help you out here.

I think so too.
