In some instances, you may want to add a C1TabControl control to your project in code. In this topic, you will learn how to create a C1TabControl control with three C1TabPage objects using C# and Visual Basic code.

Complete the following steps:

1. Add a PlaceHolder control to your page.

2. In Design view, double-click the page to add a Page_Load event to the project and to switch to the code editor.

3. Import the following namespace into your project:

• Visual Basic

Imports C1.Web.UI.Controls.C1TabControl

• C#

using C1.Web.UI.Controls.C1TabControl;

4. Create the C1TabControl object, set its Width and Height, and then add it to your project by placing the following code in the Page_Load event:

• Visual Basic

Dim NewTabControl As C1TabControl = New C1TabControl()

NewTabControl.Width = 300

NewTabControl.Height = 200

PlaceHolder1.Controls.Add(NewTabControl)

• C#

C1TabControl NewTabControl = new C1TabControl();

NewTabControl.Width = 300;

NewTabControl.Height = 200;

PlaceHolder1.Controls.Add(NewTabControl);

5. Create three C1TabPage objects and add them to the C1TabControl. This code should also be added to the Page_Load event.

• Visual Basic

'Create three C1TabPage objects

Dim C1TabPage1 As C1TabPage = New C1TabPage()

Dim C1TabPage2 As C1TabPage = New C1TabPage()

Dim C1TabPage3 As C1TabPage = New C1TabPage()

'Set the TabPages' 'Text' Property

C1TabPage1.Text = "C1TabPage1"

C1TabPage2.Text = "C1TabPage2"

C1TabPage3.Text = "C1TabPage3"

'Add the three C1TabPage objects to the C1TabControl

NewTabControl.TabPages.Add(C1TabPage1)

NewTabControl.TabPages.Add(C1TabPage2)

NewTabControl.TabPages.Add(C1TabPage3)

• C#

//Create three C1TabPage objects

C1TabPage C1TabPage1 = new C1TabPage();

C1TabPage C1TabPage2 = new C1TabPage();

C1TabPage C1TabPage3 = new C1TabPage();

//Set the TabPages' 'Text' Property'

C1TabPage1.Text = "C1TabPage1";

C1TabPage2.Text = "C1TabPage2";

C1TabPage3.Text = "C1TabPage3";

//Add the three C1Tab objects to the C1TabControl

NewTabControl.TabPages.Add(C1TabPage1);

NewTabControl.TabPages.Add(C1TabPage2);

NewTabControl.TabPages.Add(C1TabPage3);

6. Run the program.
