Adding Tabs to existing application

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I have created an windows form .NET application with several listboxes, dropdowns and textboxs.
I would like to add tab controls (Page1, Page2,,etc)
Is there a way to use the initial form as Page1?
Or do I need to re-create all controls in Page1, copy the code behind and delete original controls?
This for sure can be done but to labor-intensive.
any help is greatly appreciated

If the form you have createf d is a user control then you can directly add it in the tab page

In VS Designer, increase the size of the form so that it can contain the current Page 1 controls plus a TabControl. Increase the size of the TabControl so that it will be large enough to accept a number of the current controls. Select and drag and drop some of the existing controls onto the appropriate TabPage. If the TabControl does not have all the existing controls, then again increase the size of the TabControl and drag more existing controls onto the TabControl. Adjust the size of the TabControl when all of your controls are in it. All of you code behind will work as before.
