Question

VB: What exactly is wrong with this code (see question)? I'll tell you the error once I post the code. @nincompoop

Answer 1

`Private Sub NewToolStripMenuItem1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles` `NewToolStripMenuItem1.Click`
` Dim Tab As New TabPage`
` Tab.Controls.Add(srtb)`
` srtb.Dock = DockStyle.Fill`
` Tab.Text = "New Document"`
` TabControl1.TabPages.Add(Tab)`
` End Sub`

Answer 2

The problem is that when I click the toolstripmenuitem, it adds a new tab, but acts like I put srtb.dispose() for the previous tab. So, it adds a new tab, but takes the srtb control out of the already existing tab.

Answer 3

This help? http://www.java2s.com/Tutorial/VB/0260__GUI/AddnewTab.htm

Answer 4

not really :<

Answer 5

It probably conflicts with an earlier piece of code.
Also why don't you try an easier method?
```
Dim myTabPage As New NewTab()
myTabPage.Text = "NewTab" & (TabControl1.NewTabs.Count + 1)
TabControl1.NewTabs.Add(myTabPage)
```
I typed that from my knowledge of C#.
The converted it into VB.NET... It may bring a few errors, but wouldn't this be a simpler method? Basically its the same thing as yours, but cleaned up?

Answer 6

Well, oppy, I already fixed it, but thanks though ♥

Answer 7

Of course you fixed it.
You're a magnificent bastard. ♥

Answer 8

This is what I had to do:
`Dim srtb As New SyntaxHighlighter.SyntaxRichTextBox`
` Dim TabPage As New TabPage`
` TabPage.Controls.Add(srtb)`
` srtb.Dock = DockStyle.Fill`
` TabPage.Text = "New Document"`
` TabControl1.TabPages.Add(TabPage)`
