TabControl and SetChildIndex

[Shaun Wilde]

Hi

I am still suffering the (visual studio randomiser) TabControl bug with my
TabControl and its 10 tabs. I tried the SetChildIndex method as mentioned
previously in these groups but nothing happens - the framework just ignores
it and the tab order remains the same. I am currently use
frmTab.Controls.Clear() and and then re-adding my tabs (and then the tabname
again) with frmTab.Controls.Add(...);

frmTab.Controls.Clear(); // this deletes all the tab names for some reason
as well

frmTab.Controls.Add(tabOne); // add tab
tabOne.Text = "First"; // re-add the tab name

frmTab.Controls.Add(tabTwo);
tabTwo.Text = "Second";

etc..

now even though this works it adds 7 seconds to my form load time (which now
stands at 17 seconds).

Can someone please explain why SetChildIndex isn't working for me or suggest
a better way (preferably with a code example)

thanks again

Shaun

Have you tried using the up/down arrows to reorder the pages in the
designer?
