Display help needed with nested tabcontrols

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I;m trying to programatically code a tabcontrol within a tabcontrol.

Here is what it is supposed to look like:

Outer tabcontrol:
[Dashboard] [Sync Job 1]

Then under the Sync Job 1 tabPage I'm trying to show this tabPage:

[Destination]

So, I have an outer tabcontrol and then an inner tabcontrol. Once I understand how these two controls nest and I can display them, I will add a few more tabPages to the inner tabcontrol.

My code below, when I click on the Sync Job 1 tabPage does not show the Destination tabPage on the inner tabcontrol.

Thanks for any help...

C#

TabPage dashboardTabPage = new TabPage("Dashboard Summary");
TabControl maintc = new TabControl();
int tcLeft = groupBoxDashboardSummary.Left + 4;
int tcTop = groupBoxDashboardSummary.Top + 20;
int tcHeight = groupBoxDashboardSummary.Height - 25;
int tcWidth = groupBoxDashboardSummary.Width - 6;
maintc.Location = new Point(tcLeft, tcTop);
maintc.Height = tcHeight;
maintc.Width = tcWidth;
maintc.Anchor = (AnchorStyles.Bottom | AnchorStyles.Left | AnchorStyles.Top | AnchorStyles.Right);
maintc.TabPages.Add(dashboardTabPage);
this.Controls.AddRange(new Control[] { maintc });

TabPage syncJobTabPage = new TabPage(syncJobTitle);
maintc.TabPages.Add(syncJobTabPage);
TabPage destinationTabPage = new TabPage("Destination");
TabControl tcSync = new TabControl();
int tcSyncLeft = groupBoxDashboardSummary.Left + 14;
int tcSyncTop = groupBoxDashboardSummary.Top + 40;
int tcSyncHeight = groupBoxDashboardSummary.Height - 45;
int tcSyncWidth = groupBoxDashboardSummary.Width - 16;
tcSync.Location = new Point(tcSyncLeft, tcSyncTop);
tcSync.Height = tcSyncHeight;
tcSync.Width = tcSyncWidth;
tcSync.Anchor = (AnchorStyles.Bottom | AnchorStyles.Left | AnchorStyles.Top | AnchorStyles.Right);
tcSync.TabPages.Add(destinationTabPage);
this.Controls.AddRange(new Control[] { tcSync });
maintc.BringToFront();

Hi rfresh,

I found solution for your query, try the below code it's working for me.

C#

TabPage dashboardTabPage = new TabPage("Dashboard Summary");
            TabControl maintc = new TabControl();
           // maintc.Width = this.Width;
          //  maintc.Height = this.Height;
           // int tcLeft = groupBoxDashboardSummary.Left + 4;
           // int tcTop = groupBoxDashboardSummary.Top + 20;
           // int tcHeight = groupBoxDashboardSummary.Height - 25;
           // int tcWidth = groupBoxDashboardSummary.Width - 6;
           // maintc.Location = new Point(tcLeft, tcTop);
           // maintc.Height = tcHeight;
           // maintc.Width = tcWidth;
            maintc.Anchor = (AnchorStyles.Bottom | AnchorStyles.Left | AnchorStyles.Top | AnchorStyles.Right);
            maintc.TabPages.Add(dashboardTabPage);
            this.Controls.AddRange(new Control[] { maintc });

            TabPage syncJobTabPage = new TabPage("syncJobTitle");
            maintc.TabPages.Add(syncJobTabPage);



            TabPage destinationTabPage = new TabPage("Destination");
            TabControl tcSync = new TabControl();
           // int tcSyncLeft = groupBoxDashboardSummary.Left + 14;
            //int tcSyncTop = groupBoxDashboardSummary.Top + 40;
            //int tcSyncHeight = groupBoxDashboardSummary.Height - 45;
           // int tcSyncWidth = groupBoxDashboardSummary.Width - 16;
           // tcSync.Location = new Point(tcSyncLeft, tcSyncTop);
           // tcSync.Height = tcSyncHeight;
            //tcSync.Width = tcSyncWidth;
            tcSync.Anchor = (AnchorStyles.Bottom | AnchorStyles.Left | AnchorStyles.Top | AnchorStyles.Right);
            tcSync.TabPages.Add(destinationTabPage);
            this.Controls.AddRange(new Control[] { tcSync });
            //maintc.BringToFront();

            syncJobTabPage.Controls.Add(tcSync); // Add this line to your coding.

i hope this will help you.

Thank's
