Dynamic controls

Question

Hi all I have a Tab Control w/o pages. I add pages to it with Richtextboxes in them (one per page). Then I select the new Page and the richtextbox gains focus. When I click back to the first page and click on the first richtextbox it regains the focus but I cannot reference it to add text dynamically. Can anyone help me with this problem?

That was usefull but my real problem is with the controls in that tab page. in example i create the tab page with the IE ActiveX component - AxShDocVW (or something) - no problem.I use axWebbrowser. How I can set exactly in first second or third tab (in fact the currently selected tab) to load the URL in that axWebbrowser. Just don't know how to follow the axWebbrowser control in the tabs.

Here is a simple example that shows how to add a page and how to remove a page. This button click does both. It deletes the first page and adds a new one to the end of the collection. TabPage tp; private static int j = 0; private void button8_Click(object sender System.EventArgs e) { tp = new TabPage(j++.ToString()); this.tabControl1.TabPages.Add( tp ); this.tabControl1.TabPages.Remove(this.tabControl1.TabPages[0]); } private void Form1_Load(object sender System.EventArgs e) { //add the first 3 pages tp = new TabPage(j++.ToString()); this.tabControl1.TabPages.Add( tp ); tp = new TabPage(j++.ToString()); this.tabControl1.TabPages.Add( tp ); tp = new TabPage(j++.ToString()); this.tabControl1.TabPages.Add( tp ); }

Hey I'm really newbie in C#. And a lot of things aren't clear for me. So I have question about this tabControls. When I programm the RichTextBoxes as in example by spgilmore no problem. But I wanna add tabPages dynamic ... by a button and I don't know how much tabs will add the user. How I can follow this RichTextBoxes in the new-created tabs so I can change the texts there. I hope you'll understand me clear... but as I see now.. I wanna build something like multitabs of Mozilla Webbrowser. Creating new tabs  closing them - dynamic (user interaction) and changes theres contents separately. Can somebody help me ?

I don't know what you're trying to do with focus so I can't reproduce your problem but here's some code I tried that works like a champ. { TabPage tp1 = new TabPage(Tab1); tabControl1.TabPages.Add(tp1); TabPage tp2 = new TabPage(Tab2); tabControl1.TabPages.Add(tp2); RichTextBox rt1 = new RichTextBox(); RichTextBox rt2 = new RichTextBox(); rt1.Parent = tp1; rt1.Visible = true; rt2.Parent = tp2; rt2.Visible = true; rt1.AppendText(This is another line!); rt2.AppendText(This is another line!); }

have you tried setting the parent property of the richtextboxes to the respective tabpage container?
