Resizing tabpage

[cannorth]

Hello,

I have a tab control and I want to increase the size of a tabpage. I can resize the tab control boundaries, but the tabpage doesn't change. How can I resize a tabpage?

Thanks,

cannorth

Do you actually mean the controls on the TabPage, rather than the TabPage itself? Can you maybe post a couple of screen shots to illustrate the problem? Please just attach them to your post.

Screen shot

Hello,

No, not the controls. The tabpage itself. Attached should be a screen shot in PDF format. Notice the bottom edge of the tabpage is still above the Help button.

Hi cannorth,
It is still possible to make your own AutoSize function to the TabControl.
For example, if I am dragging some button into my TabControl.

Private Sub button1_MouseDown(sender As Object, e As MouseEventArgs)
	button1.DoDragDrop(button1.Name, DragDropEffects.Copy)
End Sub

Private Sub tabControl1_DragEnter(sender As Object, e As DragEventArgs)
	e.Effect = DragDropEffects.Copy
End Sub

Private Sub tabControl1_DragDrop(sender As Object, e As DragEventArgs)
	Dim button As New Button()
	button.Text = e.Data.GetData(GetType(String)).ToString()

	Dim newPos As Point = PointToClient(New Point(e.X, e.Y))

	button.Left = newPos.X - tabControl1.Left
	button.Top = newPos.Y - tabControl1.Top
	tabControl1.TabPages(0).Controls.Add(button)
	If button.Top + button.Height > tabControl1.TabPages(0).Height Then
		'If the button is going out of the TabControl

		tabControl1.Height = tabControl1.Height + (button.Top + button.Height - tabControl1.TabPages(0).Height)
		tabControl1.TabPages(0).Invalidate()
	End If
End Sub

Hope this helps,
Regards

Hi cannorth,

Auto-converted your code to VB.Net. This is a VB.Net forum. Post code in VB.Net language for future.

It worked

Hello,

The height property and invalidate method made it work. Thank you.
