Dynamically add controls to RadTabstrip

[bobebs]

I am new to your controls, in VB.Net I am trying to dynamicaly build a form.  I have added the RadTabstrip to my .Net form and I can successfully add tabs in via code.  My problem is I want to add controls to the tab via code also(RadTetxbox, RadListbox) however it is not adding the control to the correct tab.  Below is the code:

Private Sub Add_Text(ByVal sorder As String, ByVal itab As Integer)

Dim txt As New RadTextBox

txt.Name = "Text_" & sorder

txt.Multiline = True

txt.ScrollBars = ScrollBars.Both

Me.RadTabStrip1.SelectedTab = Me.RadTabStrip1.Items(itab)

Me.TabItem1.ContentPanel.Controls.Add(txt)

itab is the tab I want to add the control to, it always adds the control to my first tab on the RadTabStrip control.

I see that in your code you are adding the RadTextBox to the ContentPanel of the first tab (TabItem1). Maybe you need to change the code

from:

Me.RadTabStrip1.SelectedTab = Me.RadTabStrip1.Items(itab)
Me.TabItem1.ContentPanel.Controls.Add(txt)

to

Me.RadTabStrip1.SelectedTab = Me.RadTabStrip1.Items(itab)
Me.RadTabStrip1.Items(itab).ContentPanel.Controls.Add(txt)

Thanks for the reply, this does not work, I get an error
"ContentPanel" is not a member of RadItem"

You may need to first cast the object - since the Items collection contains RadItem objects, you need to cast it to TabItem explicitly.

Example:

Dim currentTab As TabItem = DirectCast(Me.radTabStrip1.Items(itab), TabItem)
currentTab.ContentPanel.Controls.Add(txt)
