Methods
DeselectTab(index)
Makes the tab following the tab with the specified index the current tab.
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| index | Int32 | The index in the TabPages collection of the tab to deselect. |
Throws:
- ArgumentOutOfRangeException index is less than 0 or greater than the number of TabPage controls in the TabPages collection minus 1.
DeselectTab(tabPage)
Makes the tab following the specified TabPage the current tab.
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| tabPage | TabPage | The TabPage to deselect. |
Throws:
- ArgumentNullException tabPage is null.
DeselectTab(tabPageName)
Makes the tab following the tab with the specified name the current tab.
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| tabPageName | String | The Name of the tab to deselect. |
Throws:
- ArgumentNullException tabPageName is null; or tabPageName does not match the Name property of any TabPage in the TabPages collection.
GetControl(index)
Returns the TabPage control at the specified location.
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| index | Int32 | The index of the TabPage to get. |
Returns: Control. The TabPage at the specified location.
Throws:
- ArgumentOutOfRangeException index is less than 0 or greater than the number of TabPage controls in the TabPages collection minus 1.
GetTabRect(index)
Returns the bounding rectangle for the tab button of the TabPage at the specified index in this TabControl control.
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| index | Int32 | The zero-based index of the tab page for which to retrieve the bounding rectangle of the tab button. |
Returns: Rectangle. A Rectangle that represents the bounds of the specified tab.
Bounding rectangles for the tab buttons are received from the client and are updated asynchronously. If the application adds a tab page, or changes any property that causes the tab button to be resized (orientation, sizing, text, alignment, etc.) it cannot immediately after retrieve the new bounds. When the tab rectangles are updated, the TabControl will fire the StyleChanged event to inform the application that the bounding rectangles have been updated. In alternative, you can use the GetTabRect and GetTabRectAsync overloads to query the client and receive the new bounding rectangle for the request tab page. Bounding rectangles are always empty until the TabControl has been rendered on the client. Throws:
- ArgumentOutOfRangeException The index is less than zero; or the index is greater than or equal to TabCount.
GetTabRect(index, callback)

|---|---|---|
| index | Int32 | The zero-based index of the tab page for which to retrieve the bounding rectangle of the tab button. |
| callback | Action<Rectangle> | Callback method that will receive the bounding rectangle for the request tab button. |
Bounding rectangles are always empty until the TabControl has been rendered on the client. Throws:
- ArgumentOutOfRangeException The index is less than zero; or the index is greater than or equal to Count.
- ArgumentNullException The callback method is null.
GetTabRectAsync(index)

| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| index | Int32 | The zero-based index of the tab page for which to retrieve the bounding rectangle of the tab button. |
