Are you trying to write your own based on the one by Carlos H. Perez? or just use that one in your project? If the latter, it is rather easy to use.

Good luck then! how's yours different? it is suitable for general-case use? if so, you could write an article for CP

In my main form's code, it has a button for adding another tabbed pane with
the following handling code:
<br />
private void button2_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)<br />
<br />
{<br />
<br />
BidPage bp = new BidPage(tabControl1);<br />
<br />
bp.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(4, 22);<br />
<br />
bp.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(552, 326);<br />
<br />
bp.TabIndex = this.tabControl1.TabCount + 1;<br />
<br />
bp.Text = "BidPage" + currID;<br />
<br />
tabControl1.TabPages.Add(bp);<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
currID++;<br />
<br />
}<br />
<br />
However, when a new BidPage is added, it's supposed to contain a button, but
it's blank! What's going on? Here's the BidPage class code:
<br />
<br />
using System;<br />
<br />
using System.Windows.Forms;<br />
<br />
namespace WindowsApplication1<br />
<br />
{<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
public class BidPage : TabPage<br />
<br />
{<br />
<br />
private Button removeButton;<br />
<br />
private System.Windows.Forms.Label label1;<br />
<br />
private System.Windows.Forms.Button remButton;<br />
<br />
private TabControl parentTabControl;<br />
<br />
public BidPage(TabControl tcOwner): base()
<br />
{<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
InitializeComponent();<br />
<br />
parentTabControl = tcOwner;<br />
<br />
}<br />
<br />
private void InitializeComponent()<br />
<br />
{<br />
<br />
this.SuspendLayout();<br />
<br />
this.label1 = new System.Windows.Forms.Label();<br />
<br />
this.remButton = new System.Windows.Forms.Button();<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
this.label1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(17, 17);<br />
<br />
this.label1.Name = "label1";<br />
<br />
this.label1.TabIndex = 0;<br />
<br />
this.label1.Text = "label1";<br />
<br />
this.label1.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.label1_Click);<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
this.remButton.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(98, 17);<br />
<br />
this.remButton.Name = "remButton";<br />
<br />
this.remButton.TabIndex = 0;<br />
<br />
this.remButton.Text = "remove tab";<br />
<br />
this.remButton.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.remButton_Click);<br />
<br />
<br />
this.ResumeLayout(false);<br />
<br />
}<br />
<br />
private void remButton_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)<br />
<br />
{<br />
<br />
parentTabControl.TabPages.Remove(parentTabControl.SelectedTab);<br />
<br />
}<br />
<br />
}<br />
<br />
}<br />
<br />

After you 'new' the button, you must then add a call to this.Controls.Add(remButton). This tells the TabPage that it is the "Owner" of the button and should then display it, if remButton.Visible = true. You can do this either in the Initialize() or in the constructor.

Hmmm... what's a signature?

How can I stop a form from redrawing itself while I make a lot of changes to its child controls?? In Win32 there is the WM_SETREDRAW (or is it WM_REDRAW) message. Is there a way to do it in Windows Forms? Or do I have to send the message to the Windows the Win32-way? if so, how do I do that?
Thanks,

You can use this method:
Control.SuspendLayout Method
(from help)
"The layout logic of the control is suspended until the ResumeLayout method is called.
The SuspendLayout and ResumeLayout methods are used in tandem to suppress multiple Layout events while you adjust multiple attributes of the control. For example, you would typically call the SuspendLayout method, then set the Size, Location, Anchor, or Dock properties of the control, and then call the ResumeLayout method to allow the changes to take effect."
Hope this helps.

Hi, try adding these 2 lines to the constructor of the form/control:
SetStyle(ControlStyles.DoubleBuffer, true);
SetStyle(ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint, true);
From the MagicLibrary help file:
The first line will request that double buffering be used whenever the OnBackground or OnPaint methods are called. This will reduce the amount of flicker but may not remove it completely as painting the whole control still results in two separate blitting operations.
The second line of code above is used to ensure that only a single blitting operation occurs when drawing. This occurs when the underlying windows WM_PAINT message is processed. When this happens it will create the memory bitmap, call the OnBackground method, call the OnPaint method and then finally blit the result to the screen.

This doesn't stop the form from painting itself while everything is being moved. It does stop most of the flickering involved but with him moving/resizing controls more will have to be done to prevent the redrawing.

I added those two lines, and it caused some problems... the toolbar appeared with the images on top of what was previously where my window appeared (background not erased) and if I moved a dialog on top of it, it did not repaint itself well.
But I removed a great deal of flicker by changing the order of making controls visible and invisible, moving panels and so on.
Thank you all for your help!

What about SuspendLayout ? did it work ?

No. I tried it also, but I have to call it for each control (for the toolbar, status bar, outlook bar, different panels, and so on) and when I called ResumeLayout for each, the same flicker occured because it first did everything for the toolbar and painted, then the outlook bar and repainted, and so on... But thanks anyway for your help,

I meant to use the method on the form, not each control, I thought that was what you were looking for.

I first tried calling the form's method, but nothing happened differently... As I understood the documentation, calling SuspendLayout acts only on changes in the control's own Location, Size, Dock and Anchor properties, not on its children's.

i have a static arraylist Commands, and a struct SvrCmd
i have used the following code to create a static member of type SvrCmd, and also add that static member, to the Commands array list
public static SvrCmd Abor = new SvrCmd();
Abor.Cmd = "ABOR";
Abor.Description = "Abort Transfer";
Commands.Add(ServerCommand.Abor); and i get a whole load of errors.
oh yer, the SvrCmd struct has public string members Cmd and Description

What is ServerCommand? You say you have a SvrCmd type.

lol
ServerCommand is the class that the code is in.
SrvCmd is just a struct, wiv two variables string Cmd and string Description

Hi again,
It must be late or I'm just plain thick, but what is the purpose for the members to be static?
