Christopher Canning-Jones via .NET 247

I've used .NET for a while and an infuriating problem hasappeared in the application GUI. I have a tabbed control withcontrols on it. When I select a control on the tabbed controland select Ctrl-C or copy from the menu to copy the control andthen go to a different tab to past the control the Past menu isgrayed and I'm unable to paste the control on another tab (oranywhere else for that matter). Also, selecting tab appears tolimit my mouse to the tab control (Even if I use Ctrl-F4 toswitch to another window the mouse is is still limited to thenow invisible box).

I've tried different combinations to no avail for both problemsand at the moment it's something I'm forced to live with!

When I used .NET v1.0 (2002 version) I never saw this problem.Now I have v1.1 (2003 architect ver) and it's peeing me off.

I tried an update and here are no updates available.

Any help from anyone please or at least let me know you have thesame problem in order to identify what could be causing it.

I have heard about that problem, but I was not able to repro it on my
..NET 2003 machine.
 
Is the TabPage or the TabControl selected when you try to paste? Clicking on
a TabControls header item causes the TabControl to be selected. You must
click on the TabPage to select it. 'Only Tabpages can be added to a
TabControl' which is why the paste option is disabled.

I have no Idea why the mouse occasionally gets locked to the Tabcontrol, but
I have experienced it.
Clicking on the Tabpage will release the mouse.
