Hi All,
I am writing a web browser application using Visual Studio 08 Express Edition C#. Windows Forms Application... But, one of the hardest problems is that I have founf almost ZERO support for the tabControl. And yes, I've checked MSDN. I need to let the user open new tabs, and have a new web browser control placed inside that newely created tab.
Then I want the user to be able to use the navigation buttons (back forward etc) for each of the web browser controls within the tabs. But, I cannot do this, I also want to be able to use any web browser command for every tab there is. I have tested every code sample i've found and nothing works. Can somebody please help me? Any advice/samp code/tutorials etc would be GREATTLY APPRECIATED!
thanks,
jt.

Hello there,
I don't know what you tried before, maybe if you post your codes here we can help you better.
I think this will help you.
Assume you have a menuStrip and have an Open command which should opens a text file into RTB (Each Tab has a RTB).
void mnuOpen_Click (object sender, EventArgs e)
{
TabPage tp = tabControl.SelectedTab;
tp.Controls["RTB"].Text = strng.Format("Open clicked in tab no.{0}", (tabControl.SelectedIndex + 1).ToString());
}
Hope Helps

Thank you so much for your quick reply!
Following, is the code for my Web Browser. It simple creates a new Tab, adds a page and a new WebBrowser in it:
TabPage page = new TabPage("Tab");
tabControl1.TabPages.Add(page);
WebBrowser wb = new WebBrowser();
wb.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
page.Controls.Add(wb);
I'm having trouble accessing each individual web browser control. I want to be able to also display the name of the website on the actual tab. Can't seem to do that though... I just got your email and am about to test your code Which I'm looking forward to...
Thanks,
jt.

OK, I got it. I wonder why you didn't get error!
you have to set the Name property of your control (or its Index) in tp.Controls, like this:
TabPage page = new TabPage("Tab");
tabControl1.TabPages.Add(page);
WebBrowser wb = new WebBrowser();
wb.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
wb.Name = "WebBrowser1";
page.Controls.Add(wb);
TabPage tp = tabControl1.SelectedTab;
tp.Controls["WebBrowser1"].Text = string.Format("kjh", (tabControl1.SelectedIndex + 1).ToString());
tp.Controls["wp"] returns null and you didn't get error in tp.Controls["wp"].Text = ... , really Weird!

Hello, Thanks again
Here's what I got, now:
private void pictureBox3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
TabPage page = new TabPage("Tab");
tabControl1.TabPages.Add(page);
WebBrowser wb = new WebBrowser();
wb.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
wb.Name = "WebBrowser1";
page.Controls.Add(wb);
TabPage tp = tabControl1.SelectedTab;
tp.Controls["WebBrowser1"].Text = string.Format("WebBrowser1", (tabControl1.SelectedIndex + 1).ToString());
tp.Controls["wp"].Text = string.Format("wp", (tabControl1.SelectedIndex + 1).ToString());
}
...But, When I debug, and then click on pictureBox3(add tab button) it brings up a debug error: "object reference is not set to an instance of an object"... it doesnt even open a new tab any more hahaha... Any ideas?
thanks,
j.t.

What is "wp"? Did you mean "wb"? Even with "wb" you'll get this error. wb is an object, as I told before, you have to set the object's Name property in tp.Controls, as you did in this line:
jay_t55 wrote: tp.Controls["WebBrowser1"].Text = string.Format("WebBrowser1", (tabControl1.SelectedIndex + 1).ToString());
Clear this line:
jay_t55 wrote: tp.Controls["wp"].Text = string.Format("wp", (tabControl1.SelectedIndex + 1).ToString());

thank you,
i have this:
TabPage page = new TabPage("Tab");
tabControl1.TabPages.Add(page);
WebBrowser wb = new WebBrowser();
wb.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
wb.Name = "WebBrowser1";
page.Controls.Add(wb);
TabPage tp = tabControl1.SelectedTab;
tp.Controls["webBrowser1"].Text = string.Format("webBrowser1", (tabControl1.SelectedIndex + 1).ToString());
tp.Controls["webBrowser1"].Text = string.Format("webBrowser1", (tabControl1.SelectedIndex + 1).ToString());
..and it still gives the same error message  ..totally weird :-p

C# is Case-Sensitive which means 'A' is not equal to 'a'.
You named your wb, "WebBrowser1" (look at 'W', it's Capital) and told to tp that I have a control named "webBrowser1" (did you see 'w'?) and tp tried to find that but nothing found and got this error. Do you understand?
And why did you write this line twice?
jay_t55 wrote: tp.Controls["webBrowser1"].Text = string.Format("webBrowser1", (tabControl1.SelectedIndex + 1).ToString());
tp.Controls["webBrowser1"].Text = string.Format("webBrowser1", (tabControl1.SelectedIndex + 1).ToString());
Clear one of them and change "webBrowser1" to "WebBrowser1"

Sorry about that muck up before.
Here is the code that I have as of your last post:
private void pictureBox3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
TabPage page = new TabPage("Tab");
tabControl1.TabPages.Add(page);
WebBrowser wb = new WebBrowser();
wb.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
wb.Name = "WebBrowser1";
page.Controls.Add(wb);
TabPage tp = tabControl1.SelectedTab;
tp.Controls["WebBrowser1"].Text = string.Format("WebBrowser1", (tabControl1.SelectedIndex + 1).ToString());
}
Although it still tells me "object reference not set to instance of an object." and it points to the following line:
tp.Controls["WebBrowser1"].Text = string.Format("WebBrowser1", (tabControl1.SelectedIndex + 1).ToString());
Regards,
j.t.

Oooooooooh,
Why didn't I notice before?
A WebBrowser control does NOT support the Text property!!!!
But why did you get NullReferenceException?!!
I tried this code and did work for me well:
TabPage tp = new TabPage("Tab");
tabControl1.TabPages.Add(tp);
WebBrowser wb = new WebBrowser();
wb.Name = "WebBrowser1";
wb.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
tp.Controls.Add(wb);
TabPage p = tabControl1.SelectedTab;
(p.Controls["WebBrowser1"] as WebBrowser).DocumentText = "Hello!";

You, Pedram, are a genius! Thank you so much for letting me pick at your brain! You have just solved my problem that i have had for the last 6weeks.
Regards,
j.t.
p.s.
if you would like to help me again, (just general advice), i need to create a "DocumentCompleted" event handler for the WebBrowser1 control. But I don't know how to do this programatically since there isn't one on my form design. Any advice would be much appreciated. 
best regards,
jason.

I recently made a program for organizing marks and realized that it is slow and repetitive to type the same teacher's name 20 times for students in the same class.
I chose to add a little copy and paste feature when the user presses ctrl+v and the active cell becomes the contents of the clipboard.
Here is the snippet:
else if (e.Control && e.KeyCode == Keys.V)
{
if (Clipboard.ContainsText() & dataGridView1.CurrentCell.OwningColumn.Index == 4)
{
dataGridView1.CurrentCell.Value = Clipboard.GetText();
}
if (dataGridView1.CurrentCell.OwningRow.Index == nUD_counter)
{
dataGridView1.Rows.Add();
}
}
What I'm having problems with is the last part, where I add another row (Microsoft made it so it would automatically add a row if the cell is edited by the user, but not programatically. The problem is that when I add the new row, it places it above the row which I just pasted info into such that:
col1 col2
a b
<-blank line where I press ctrl+v->
It becomes
col1 col2
a b
<-blank line where I press ctrl+v->
hi
How can I fix this? Also feel free to make suggestions on my code.
Thanks in advance.

I messed around with it a bit and ended up using SendKeys. I know this isn't the best method, but its the only one I tried so far that works.
Basically,
try
{
dataGridView1.BeginEdit(true);
String tempText = Clipboard.GetText();
tempText = tempText.Replace("{", "{{}");
tempText = tempText.Replace("}", "{}}");
tempText = tempText.Replace("{{{}}", "{{}");
tempText = tempText.Replace("(", "{(}");
tempText = tempText.Replace(")", "{)}");
tempText = tempText.Replace("+", "{+}");
tempText = tempText.Replace("^", "{^}");
tempText = tempText.Replace("%", "{%}");
tempText = tempText.Replace("~", "{~}");
SendKeys.Send(tempText);
SendKeys.Send("{DOWN}");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message + "\n\nThe previous value was restored.", Application.ProductName, MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
dataGridView1.CurrentCell.Value = previousValue;
}

Hi,
I need to generate an ordered sequence of numbers from 1 - 9. At no point is any number allowed to be used twice.
There are 81 combinations.
So it would look something like this:
123456789,
192345678,
193456782,
194567823,
195678234,...
and so on.
Thanks

Hello.
I have a MP3 file. I wanna split it where the volume is silent.
How can I do it ?
Thanks in advance .
|
|
|
|
|
I don't know if this article[^] uses zero crossing for determining the split location - but it shold get you started.
DaveBTW, in software, hope and pray is not a viable strategy. (Luc Pattyn)Visual Basic is not used by normal people so we're not covering it here. (Uncyclopedia)
|
|
|
|

An mp3 file is divided into blocks, so you would only be able to split the sound stream between blocks. Also, it would be very hard to analyse the sound while it's compressed.
You have to decompress the file in order to easily analyse it and split it where you want. Then you can either save the parts as wave files or compress them into mp3 files.
Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.
