I have a listview on a tabcontrol page. depending on what tabpage is
selected, I need to move the listview control to another tab page or clone it.

Can anyone advise on how to move a control to another tab page or to clone it?

Thanks

I've never tried this, so I'm not sure how well it would work, but you
could try just adding it to the TabPage's 'Controls'... such as:

tabPage1.Controls.Add(listView1);
tabPage2.Controls.Add(listView1);
tabPage3.Controls.Add(listView1);

the only problem is that the properties on the listView would have to
remain the same (position, size, contents, etc) since it will be the same
control.

Isn't there a better way you could do this?? Move the listView off of the
tabControl and place it above or below?

Actually I'm not so sure this would work after all... as the listView1
control's Parent would get confused. You'll have to test it, but I
wouldn't expect it to work.. sorry for being confusing.

won't work that way, not so simple do to Parent owner of the Tabpage.

Any other ideas appreciated.
