I am using C# 2005 to create a Windows application. I have a MDIForm (frmMainMenu) which contains a Menustrip and a
TabControl. My ChildForm is frmPurchaseEntry. When the user clicks on a particular Menu option a new TabPage is created and
the child form is displayed within the TabPage.
I am using the following code in the MenuClick event of the MDIForm (frmMainMenu) :
frmPurchaseEntry PurchaseEntry = new
frmPurchaseEntry(); PurchaseEntry.MdiParent = this; PurchaseEntry.TabCtrl
= tabControl1; PurchaseEntry.TopLevel = false; PurchaseEntry.Visible =
true; PurchaseEntry.FormBorderStyle =
FormBorderStyle.None; PurchaseEntry.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
TabPage tpPurchaseEntry = new TabPage(); tpPurchaseEntry.Parent =
tabControl1; tpPurchaseEntry.Text =
PurchaseEntry.Text; tpPurchaseEntry.Controls.Add(PurchaseEntry);
tpPurchaseEntry.Show(); PurchaseEntry.Select();
tabControl1.SelectedTab = tpPurchaseEntry ;
|
Everything is OK upto this. But I am unable to remove the TabPage when the ChildForm is closed. The following command only closes the ChildForm, but the empty TabPage still remains.
I know the syntax to remove a TabPage is
tabControl1.TabPages.Remove(tabControl1.SelectedTab);
|
But Im unable to access the TabControl of MDIForm from the ChildForm. I tried to use Public modifier for the TabControl, but still it is not exposed from the ChildForm.
How can I remove AND dispose a particular TabPage (with a particular Tab Text) from the ChildForm???
Thank you.
