tabPage1_Click event not triggering

I am using a tab in my program to switch between two forms. I put the code required to switch between forms within the tabPage1_Click event, but it doesn't trigger when the tab is clicked.
I attached the code and properties of the tab. Please let me know if any other information is required to know the problem. Thanks.
private void tabPage1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.Hide();
Home form2 = new Home();
form2.ShowDialog();
this.Close();
}

There are 2 things involved here. Tab control and Tab pages. Tab Control is the parent object which has multiple Tab pages in it.
You have event handler for Tab Page which is tabpage1_Click and not for Tab Control.
tabpage1_Click will be triggered when you click on tab page 1(not on the tab page header).
If you need to capture an event when you click on tab page header use Tab Control click event, something like below.
private void tabControl1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//Your code goes here
}
To access the properties of the tab page use tabControl1.SelectedTab

C# winform: Accessing controls in a usercontrol from every tab page

I have a user control and in this control i have a bunch of text boxes and labels. Now I have linked this user control to another form's tab control. Here is the code I am using
TabPage tp = new TabPage();
tp.Controls.Add(TipUserControl);
tp.Text = "Tab "+ tabctrl_Fields.TabCount + 1;
tabctrl_Fields.TabPages.Add(tp);
When I click on a "Add another tab" button, the above code gets executed and a new tab page with the text boxes (similar to Tab 1) is created.
Now what I am looking for is When the user click on "Done" button in the form (not in the user control), it should be able to loop through every tab and every control (textboxes, labels etc) within that tab. Can anyone suggest on how to write this code?
Thanks in advance,
Swamy

I would add a Tag to the controls that you are searching for and use that approach:
Ability to find WinForm control via the Tag property
private void FindTag(Control.ControlCollection controls)
{
foreach (Control c in controls)
{
if (c.Tag != null)
//logic
if (c.HasChildren)
FindTag(c.Controls); //Recursively check all children controls as well; ie groupboxes or tabpages
}
}
Or iterate recursively over the Tab controls

Making a WebBrowser control in wpf read-only?

I would like to make the wpf webbroswer control read-only in the sense that I still want to be able to give users the ability to copy texts off of textfield etc but I dont want them to be ableto click button or submit forms.
I wrapped the web browser control in a wpf user control. When I set the IsEnabled proerty to false, it works i.e the webbroswer control is disabled but the user cannot select text from the page...

You can handle the WebBrowser's Navigating event and cancel it so that the user can't navigate to another page.
void myBrowser_Navigating(object sender, NavigatingCancelEventArgs e)
{
e.Cancel = true;
}

Set panel visiblity on Escape key press

Lets say I have a windows form and it has two panels. Main panel and popup panel.When specific button click main panel will disable and popup panel will be visible.
My question is when user press escape key i want to set visibility of popup panel to false and enable main panel.

bool bPanelFocus;
private void cancelButon_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (popuppanel.Visible == true && bPanelFocus)
{
popuppanel.Visible = false;
mainpanel.Visible = true;
return;
}
//your code for the cancel button
}
Since you have a cancel button on the form, it will trigger the click event on that button when you press the Esc button. On your cancel button's click event, add a validation to check if the pop up panel is visible, also you might need a flag to check if the user has focus on the panel otherwise proceed with the cancel button's procedures.

Customizing a TabControl for the Closing of Individual Tabs

My scenario is the following:
I am working on a winforms application in C# that has a button inside the main page of a tabcontrol that will generate another tabpage each time that it is clicked. Each new tabpage will contain a layout defined by a user control.
My Questions are:
How can I allow the user to then close one of the tabs that were created dynamically at runtime?
How might I go about modifying the tabcontrol itself so that it has a small 'X' in each tab that the user may click on in order to close that particular tab? (Like Firefox has)
How can I expose the SelectedIndex property of the tabcontrol to the user control if I want to close the tab with a button inside the user control instead?

I found this code and was very helpful to me:
private void tabControl_MouseUp(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
// check if the right mouse button was pressed
if(e.Button == MouseButtons.Right)
{
// iterate through all the tab pages
for(int i = 0; i < tabControl1.TabCount; i++)
{
// get their rectangle area and check if it contains the mouse cursor
Rectangle r = tabControl1.GetTabRect(i);
if (r.Contains(e.Location))
{
// show the context menu here
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("TabPressed: " + i);
}
}
}
}
TabControl: How To Capture Mouse Right-Click On Tab

I created a derived tab control about one year ago. I am not going to post the source here, because it's about 700 lines long and coded quite messy. Maybe I will find some time to clean the code up and then release it here. For now I will briefly outline the way it is build.
Each tab page has a 'X' icon to the left of the title and the tab pages support reordering by drag and drop and moving them between multiple tab control.
I choose the easy way to get the icon on the tab pages. The tab control has the TabControl.ImageList property and a tab page has a TabPage.ImageIndex property. So I just added three icons to a image list - normal, hover, pressed - and process the mouse events.
With TabControl.GetTabRect() you can test if the mouse is over a specific tab pages and with some math you find if it is over the icon. Then you just need to change the icon depending on the mouse button state and eventually remove the tab page under the mouse if the button was pressed.
The main problem with this solution is, that calculating if the mouse is over the icon requires to know where the icon is painted relative to the tab page and this might change with a new windows version. And the icon is to the left of the title, but that does not look too bad.

I did the following:
on the create (add) TabPage stage, I added a toolStrip
ToolStrip ts = new ToolStrip();
ts.Dock = DockStyle.Top;
ts.RightToLeft = System.Windows.Forms.RightToLeft.Yes;
Then, create the X button and add it to toolstrip
ToolStripButton ToolStripButton = new ToolStripButton("X");
ts.Items.Add(ToolStripButton);
create an event on clicking the X button
ToolStripButton.Click += new EventHandler(ToolStripButton_Click);
add toolstrip to the tabpage
tabControl1.TabPages[curenttabpage].Controls.Add(ts);
now for the ToolStripButton_Click is as follows:
void ToolStripButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ToolStripButton t = (ToolStripButton)(sender);
ToolStrip ts = t.Owner;
TabPage tb = (TabPage)
(ts.Parent);tabControl1.TabPages.Remove(tb);
}
Maybe it is not as you want, but it will work well.

I created a setup that is similar.
Each control that is added to the tab page at runtime is derived from a special base control I created. This base control has a close button (along with some other features such as safe to close flag).
Close tab code I'm using on my base control:
TabPage tabpage = (TabPage)this.Parent;
TabControl tabControl = (TabControl)tabpage.Parent;
tabControl.TabPages.Remove(parent);

I know this is an old thread but I did find this link that will allow you to "hide" tabs in an array and then you can just re-load the tabs you want at run time. I added this more for a place I can easily find it again.

This code might help throgh closing the tab controls with middle mouse click :
private void tabControl1_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Button != System.Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Middle)
return;
for (int i = 0; i < MainTabControl.TabPages.Count; i++)
{
if (this.MainTabControl.GetTabRect(i).Contains(e.Location))
{
this.MainTabControl.TabPages.RemoveAt(i);
return;
}
}
}

It´s works!
TabPage tabpage = (TabPage)this.Parent;
TabControl tabControl = (TabControl)tabpage.Parent;
tabControl.TabPages.Remove(tabpage);
