TabPage...Better/Simpler way

[meh]

I'm not sure if I have the right concept going. I am making a custom TabPage and executing it from a button click event. It works fine I'm just thinking I might be missing the finer points of the c# language. If not maybe I'm starting to catch on. Would like comments...bett er???...simpler ???...

Here is the code....

// Build New Tab Page
//
string title = "tabPage" + (tabControl1.Ta bCount + 1).ToString();
TabPage myTabPage = new TabPage(title);
tabControl1.Tab Pages.Add(myTab Page);
//
// Build New tabPage with treeView1
//
TreeView CurrTree = new TreeView();
CurrTree.Dock = System.Windows. Forms.DockStyle .Fill;
CurrTree.ImageI ndex = -1;
CurrTree.Indent = 19;
CurrTree.ItemHe ight = 16;
CurrTree.Locati on = new System.Drawing. Point(0, 44);
CurrTree.Name = "CurrTree" + (tabControl1.Ta bCount).ToStrin g();
CurrTree.Select edImageIndex = -1;
CurrTree.Size = new System.Drawing. Size(292, 428);
CurrTree.TabInd ex = 3;
// Adds new node as a child node of the currently selected node.

newNode.Text = "Text for new node";
newNode.ImageIn dex = 0;
newNode.Selecte dImageIndex = 1;
CurrTree.Nodes. Add(newNode);
CurrTree.Select edNode = newNode;
//
// Build New tabPage with myComboBox
//

myComboBox.Dock = System.Windows. Forms.DockStyle .Top;
myComboBox.Item Height = 13;
myComboBox.Loca tion = new System.Drawing. Point(0, 23);

myComboBox.Size = new System.Drawing. Size(292, 21);

Re: TabPage...Bette r/Simpler way

meh,

What you are doing basically seems correct. I am curious though, are
you trying to do this dynamically? Is there a need to do it dynamically?
If not, I would let the designer handle all of this.

Hope this helps.

Re: TabPage...Bette r/Simpler way

Thanks Nick for the reply...
Yes I am trying to do this dynamically.
Yes there is a need
Impossible to know ahead of time what the user will do with this. This was
part of the spec ... that the user can "auto generate" multiple tabPages.
I am migrating over to C# from VB and am using this to try out a more c#
oriented philosophy.
I know there was a bug in VB when distroying tab pages....but I have not run
into that using C#.
Again thanks for the feedback...
