Responding to Double-Click and Right Click on Dynamic Tabs

[Marc]

I am having trouble finding a solution to this need.  I have a radTabStrip on a form with one tab created at Design time.  This one tab is [Add New] used for adding other tabs.  I need to respond to both Right Click (mousedown) and Double click on the Dynamically created tabs.  This is no problem on the tab created at design time because it is easy to create the event but can't seem to create an event for the dynamic tabs.

The examples I found in the documentation (responding to right click and double click) only deal with design time tabs.  When I use the mouse down and click events for the RadTabStrip itself it respond to clicks on more than just the tabs, but on the control itself.

Any help (guidance) would be appreciated.

I am using VB.net in VS2008.

BTW:  Your controls are great!

Found a solution.

I copied the following two subs from your Right Click and Double Click example:

 

    Private Sub TabItem_DoubleClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)

        Dim ti As TabItem = DirectCast(sender, TabItem)
        'do something
        MsgBox(ti.Name)

    End Sub

    Private Sub TabItem_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As MouseEventArgs)

        If e.Button = MouseButtons.Right Then
            Dim ti As TabItem = DirectCast(sender, TabItem)
            'do something
            MsgBox(ti.Name)
        End If
    End Sub

Then added the AddHandler code after creating each new Tab.

t = New Telerik.WinControls.UI.TabItem("New Tab")
t.Name = "Newest Tab"
radTabStrip.Items.Insert(0, t)

'set the event handler for the new tab
AddHandler t.MouseDown, AddressOf TabItem_MouseDown
AddHandler t.DoubleClick, AddressOf TabItem_DoubleClick

PS:  Forgot to mention your controls are great!
