Hi,

I have a tabcontrol that has a tabpage, I want to add another tabpage on
runtime, but I want the tabpage to be added to the 1st tab, anyone know how
to do it?

Thanks,
Tee

There's probably a better way, but some C# code that seems to work is:
TabPage p = new TabPage("My Tab Page");

this.tabControl1.TabPages.Add(p);

for (int lcv = this.tabControl1.TabPages.Count - 1; lcv > 0; lcv--)

{

this.tabControl1.TabPages[lcv] = this.tabControl1.TabPages[lcv - 1];

}

this.tabControl1.TabPages[0] = p;

Tee,

Because of a bug in the tabpages, you have probably first to "remove" all
the existing ones and than "add" again all the ones in the sequence that you
want them.

No! Don't remove tabpages as this will cause unsightly flicker. Simply swap
tabpages.

On my site you'll find routines for inserting a tabpage which uses a loop to
swap tabpages until the new tabpage is where you want it.

Mick,

Everything can be done better, however to say a screaming "No" to it is in
my opinion overdone.

Not angry, just friendly laughing.

Sorry Cor.
I'd just got up and hadn't had my fix of Coffee yet.
