Fire Event when the tab is clicked

[ahbenshaut]

Greetings to all!
I have a form that has a tab control on it. I want to load information as soon as the tab is clicked, not when the user clicks inside the tab window. Any help is greatly appreciated.

thanks

Okay here goes...
I have a tabcontrol with 4 tabs on it on a form.
In 2 of the tabs, there is a datagrid.
When the tab is clicked, I want to populate the corresponding datagrid. So far I have only beeen able to populate the datagrid after the user selects the tab, then clicks somewhere in the tab form. I'd like to do away with the last click.

hope that helps

Well, it would be best if you send some code (i cannot go for guessing)

In meantime, this is how you invoke an event by clicking certain tab (i also attached the project to see that it does change intended event/s correctly)

[SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]Private [/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]Sub[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] TabControl1_SelectedIndexChanged([/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]ByVal[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] sender [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]As[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] System.Object, [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]ByVal[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] e [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]As[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] System.EventArgs) [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]Handles[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] TabControl1.SelectedIndexChanged
[/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]If [/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]Me[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2].TabControl1.SelectedTab.Text = "Page1" [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]Then
[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2]MessageBox.Show("the first one was selected")
[/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]ElseIf [/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]Me[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2].TabControl1.SelectedTab.Text = "Page2" [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]Then
[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2]MessageBox.Show("the second one was selected")
[/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]End [/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]If
[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]End [/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]Sub[/COLOR][/SIZE]

You are wellcome ... but you didn't say to to us what was wrong with your code. I beleive it will help to other people that have similar problem

 

[ahbenshaut]

Well, there really wasnt anything wrong with my code, it was just in the wrong place. I was trying to use the individual tabs instead of using the tabcontrol to figure out which tab was clicked...sigh...

oic ... however this information (that you have used individual tabs) is sort of useful for other members. Thanks a lot
