Just a pointer in the right direction - your GUI controls are just objects, right? You can create objects and add them to a control's container.

Basically every time you would add a new tab you could generate your standard set of control objects (give them unique names) and add them to the new tab control!

Here's a great example of adding controls on the fly.

Are you asking for something like that?

string title = "TabPage " + (tabControl1.TabCount + 1).ToString();
TabPage myTabPage = new TabPage(title);
tabControl1.TabPages.Add(myTabPage);

Thanks for the quick response!

So am I right in thinking that I could use something like:

public void populateTab(TabPage name){

Button testbutton = new Button();

testbutton.text = name;

//bad example, I know!
}

etc..


Then call


mainScreen.TabPages.Add(selectedprogram.Name);
populateTab(selectedprogram.Name);

Right, I have coded up my dynamically built interface, now... how would you go about adding eventhandlers to these? Hmmm

I tried following http://en.csharp-onl...ommand_Controls with my code:

//inside newly created tabpage
 Button closeTab = new Button();
            closeTab.Location = new Point(1, 1);
            closeTab.Text = "X";

 private void closeTab_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            this.Text = "Y";
        }

I have the line:

closeTab.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.closeTab_Click);

To put somewhere, but everywhere I put it, it either doesn't work or throws up errors
