add new tab in every new opened form

Question

I am creating a windows form using vs2010 and c#. I want to make each opened form to produce a new tab field in my main tab control. Any idea how this can be done? thanks in advance.

created the dynamic tabs using a code similar to this: http://help.infragistics.com/Help/NetAdvantage/WinForms/2010.1/CLR2.0/html/Infragistics2.Win.UltraWinTabControl.v10.1~Infragistics.Win.UltraWinTabControl.UltraTabControlKeyActionMappingsCollection.html The problem is that I want to have duplicated tabs with the same text name and this is not allowed cause of the unique keys that requires. Any idea how can I have active more than one tab of the same text name and context?

is there any other syntax of creating a new tabpage cause I am using Infragistics toolbox (ultra Shared Tab Control tool)? The .add is not an accepted option.

You need to add tabs to the tab control on your MainForm dynamically. I am assuming you are opening Forms from your main form. When you open a Form from main form, before you can Show or ShowDialog method, you create a new TabPage and ad it to the TabControl using TabControl.TabPages.Add method. Something like this: TabPage newPage = new TabPage("New Page"); tabControl1.TabPages.Add(newPage); Here is an article on TabControl and also talks about how to add and remove tab pages dynamically: Working with Windows TabControl with C#
