Can't get TabControl_click to work

[TonyScarpelli]

I have a form with a number of tab pages on it.

When I click on a particular tab, I want the for form's title to change.

I have the following code to test the idea, but it doesn't work. When I click on a tab the the following code doesn't run.

Private Sub TabControl_Click(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
MsgBox(TabControl.SelectedTab.Name.ToString)
End Sub

Can some give me a clue as to why this code isn't running?

Thanks.

I have used the tab control's SelectedIndexChanged to determine when a certain tab page is clicked on.

How do you program that into the form?

Is this an event that the form can catch?

Thanks.

Here is an example.

Private Sub TabControl1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TabControl1.SelectedIndexChanged

        Select Case TabControl1.SelectedTab.Name
            Case "TabPage1"
                'do something
            Case "TabPage2"
                'do something else
        End Select

End Sub

As posted above is the correct method. In your particular case this is all that needs to be done:

Private Sub TabControl1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TabControl1.SelectedIndexChanged

Me.Text = TabControl1.SelectedTab.Text

End Sub


*just for the future you don't need to use the .ToString method on a property that is already in a string format
