hi all,
I have a tab control on a winform. How do you programmatically switch between tabs?

If I do something like

tabPage1.BringToFront();
tabPage1.Focus();
tabPage1.Show();

The contents of the tab will show, but the tabstrip itself doesn't switch to the correct tab. What is the correct method to switch between tabs?

Thanks,.
dave

You try this method:

tabControl.SelectedTab =3D tabPage1

Anyone have a clue as to how to programmaticaly set the tabpage of a tab control ??

The TabControl.Select, TabControl.SelectNextControl, TabControl.SelectedIndex, TabControl.SelectedTab methods and settings do not have any effect.

Are there config settings that need to be applied ?

SelectedIndex and SelectedTab properties should work. Either of these
two lines works for me, and they do the same thing (select the second
TabPage (because it's 0-indexed) of the 2 TabPages I have):

tabControl1.SelectedIndex =3D 1;

tabControl1.SelectedTab =3D tabControl1.TabPages[1];
