tab control and tab changed

[Lance Johnson]

I would like for when a tab page changes, that my controls on the previous
tab page would receive a visiblechanged event or some other event so they
are aware of that. We have db locks in some of our controls when they're
visible and so if a tab page is changed, I would like for the control to
know it's no longer visible and release that lock. Currently that doesn't
happen. Does anybody have any suggestions and/or is this a bug?

Use TabControl.Sele ctedIndexChange d event.

When SelectedIndexCh anged occurs, you could use a foreach statement to
iterate over the TabPages in your TabControl and disable the controls on any
TabPage that isn't the currently selected one.

Hi Lance,

In SelectedIndexCh anged event, you can only get the current selected tab
index.
I think you should get the original tab before changing, then you can loop
through the
controls in the original tab and invoke its related method.

To get the original tab, you can set a static variable to store the
original tab index(at startup its value should be 0).

To loop through the controls on the tab, you can do like this:

foreach(Control c in tabControl1.Tab Pages[origtabindex].Controls)
{
//invoke your method of the control
}

Re: tab control and tab changed

I could do that, however what could I call that would allow the control to
know it's not visible any more. If I set control.visible to false that does
nothing, because it's already set to false. That's my #1 problem is that
it's visibility gets set to false without the event occurring.

Re: tab control and tab changed


Hi Lance,

I think you should inherit a new class from your control and custom some
methods
to your control(such as release lock).
Then, in the SelectedIndexCh anged event, you can record the last invisable
tab index
and invoke all the related method of the controls in that tab page.
If I still misunderstand you, please do not be hesitated to tell me.

Re: tab control and tab changed

I was just hoping there was a easier way of automatically doing this. What
I've done instead is to look at the parent changed event for the control and
subscribe to the Parent's visibility changed event. Seems to work well
enough for me and then all of my derived controls will automatically work
with no extra work on any tab control or anything else I might put them in.

Re: tab control and tab changed


Hi Lance,

I can reproduce your problem.
When clicking the tab page, the unvisabled control does not fire
VisibleChanged
event.
I have used Spy++ to watch the control's message when its parent tab page
get
unvisabled, finding that no message generated.

I also found that the control's VisibleChanged event fires go with the
WM_WINDOWPOSCHA NGING and WM_WINDOWPOSCHA NGED message.
I think the windows implement the control's visable change by changing their
z-order, when the control on the tab page was unvisabled, its absolute
z-order did
not change, but the visable tab page's z-order get up and lay over the
control, so
the VisibleChanged event did not fire.
While click the tab page that contains the control, the control's absolute
z-order needs
get up and VisibleChanged fired.

So you can not use this way of doing what you want, please try some way
that we suggested.
It will work around your problem.

Hope this helps.

Re: tab control and tab changed

That's very strange. You're saying that when a tab page gets change there's
no event happening on the tab page itself. Because I'm hooking into that
event and when I click on another tab it's firing for me and I'm able to
update my stuff correctly.

Re: tab control and tab changed


Hi Lance,

I think I did not express clear.
When click another tab page, the tab control will fire its event, but
the button control in the tab page does not fire the its VisibleChanged
Also, the button did not generate any message.

| That's very strange. You're saying that when a tab page gets change
there's
| no event happening on the tab page itself. Because I'm hooking into that
| event and when I click on another tab it's firing for me and I'm able to
| update my stuff correctly.
