tabcontrol

I want to have a TabControl with multiple TabItems . These TabItems each have a header text. These texts may vary a lot in length (like 5 chars long and 15 chars long). I want the TabControl to align the headers in one row only. All tab headers should use the same width, and when there is enough space available, i want them the to use all the space available, up to a MaxWidth , that is the same for all items. So if i want to use vMaxWidth` of 100 for 7 items, the tab header should be max 700 in width. If there is more space available, it should be ignored. If there is less space available, i

Hey, I've been trying to paint my own TabControl to get rid of the 3D Shadow but I am not having much success. The DrawItem event isn't firing at the moment. Do I have to shoot it myself? How do I do that? Code: namespace NCPad { public partial class NCE_TabControl : TabControl { Rectangle TabBoundary; RectangleF TabTextBoundary; public NCE_TabControl() { InitializeComponent(); this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.UserPaint | ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint | ControlStyles.DoubleBuffer, true); this.DrawMode = TabDrawMode.OwnerDrawFixed; this.Paint += new PaintEventHandler(this.OnPaint); this

I am working on WPF and I am creating a userControl which contains a TabControl which has some TabItems. I need to execute some stuff when the selected tab changes, so, what I tried to do is to use the event myTabControl.SelectionChanged but it was raised many times, even though I only clicked once a TabItem. Then I read this post is-there-selected-tab-changed-event-in-the-standard-wpf-tab-control and put this code inside my method: void mainTabControl_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e) { if (e.Source is TabControl) { //do work when tab is changed } } After doing that

I have just discovered that UserControls in a TabControl will not load until the parent TabPage is selected. Is there a way to prevent this delay loading? I need to initialize the UserControls when the main form loads. The TabControl does not treat its controls specially, in fact it is normal under all circumstances for the Load event on a UserControl to occur immediately before the control is displayed for the first time. The TabPage is responsible for showing the control, therefore it will only be 'loaded' when first selected. To overcome this (perfectly normal) Windows Forms behaviour, you

I am new to C# .NET. Can some one help me out with the below problem: I have a TabControl in my WindowsForm application, where the tab pages are generated dynamically. The content to be displayed on each tab would be fetched from my database. I need some kind of control (which can display the fetched data) that I can add on each tab page (which would be same for all tabs) such that I can associate some kind of event, say click, on that added control. Can anyone tell me how to do this programmatically & write the click event for all the controls added? Srikanth V M Please refer the below link!

I have a TabControl and under it I have several elements like TreeView and DataGrid . When I expand the tree and resize data grid columns, if I then tab to another tab and come back, the entire UI state is forgotten. I have to re-expand the tree and resize the columns. Is there a sensible and existing way to save the UI state? Let's divide this into - temporary (in memory) and permanent (on the disk). akjoshi To save the state you can bind the relevant control( Width , Height , IsSelected etc.) properties to your binding source's properties(i.e. ViewModel in case of MVVM), this will
