TabControl does not display

Question

I have a pretty simple .net c# vs 2012 app. I'm learning to use the tabcontrol programatically. I've been looking for a few hours and cannot find what I am doing wrong. My simple code below does not show on my main form. Every sample and example that I have looked at does not more than this and yet this does not show. Obviously I am missing something.

Thanks for any help...

C#

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    TabPage newPage = new TabPage("New Page");
    TabControl tabControl = new System.Windows.Forms.TabControl();
    tabControl.TabPages.Add(newPage);

}

Solution 1

You add the newPage tab to the tabControl, but you never add the tabControl to your form. Try this...

C#

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    TabPage newPage = new TabPage("New Page");
    TabControl tabControl = new System.Windows.Forms.TabControl();
    tabControl.TabPages.Add(newPage);
    this.Controls.Add(tabControl);
}

Good catch, but I fixed casing in the code and formatting. Voted 4.
