I'm trying to do a notepad with chrome-like tabs on it. I have a "New Page" button on my page. When I click on it, it creates a new tabpage with a richtexbox on it. The richboxes are created like this
public void yeni()
{
//create a new tabpage
TabPage newPage = new TabPage("Not-" + (tabControl1.TabPages.Count + 1));
//create a new richtexbox
RichTextBox rtb = new RichTextBox();
int rtbname = tabControl1.TabPages.Count + 1;
rtb.Name = "richTextBox" + rtbname.ToString();
rtb.Anchor = (AnchorStyles.Bottom | AnchorStyles.Right | AnchorStyles.Left | AnchorStyles.Top);
rtb.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.None;
rtb.Width = 778;
rtb.Height = 395;
rtb.Location = new Point(0, 4);
rtb.HideSelection = false;
rtb.Font = new Font("Lucida Console", 9.75f);
rtb.ForeColor = Color.Maroon;
//add rtb to the tabpage
newPage.Controls.Add(rtb);
tabControl1.TabPages.Add(newPage);
//make the new created tab the selected one
tabControl1.SelectedTab = tabControl1.TabPages[tabControl1.TabPages.Count - 1];
//selectedRtb.Text = null;
openFileDialog1.FileName = null;
}
Now I create a RichTextBox and the name of that rtb is richTextBox*indexofthetabhere*. So if I'm working on the second tabpage, the name of the rtb is "richTextBox2". Now what I'm trying to do is I want an textchanged event for the richtextbox on the selected tabpage. I'm getting the selected richtextbox with this code here.
private void tabControl1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
selectedone = "richTextBox" + (tabControl1.SelectedIndex+1).ToString();
selectedRtb = (RichTextBox)tabControl1.SelectedTab.Controls[selectedone];
textBox2.Text = selectedone;
}
Now here I get the selected tab index and i get the rtb name then I get the selected rtb as "selectedRtb". Now I can't make a textchanged event for this. I don't know what to do actually. I tested if the above code was working and yes I get the rtb names right. But I can't use them because I don't know how to do.. Thanks for the help.
public void yeni()
{
//....
RichTextBox rtb = new RichTextBox();
rtb.Name = "richTextBox" + selectedTabPageIndex.ToString();
rtb.TextChanged += rtb_TextChanged;
//....
}
void rtb_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
RichTextBox rtb = (RichTextBox)sender;
if (rtb.Name == "richTextBox" + selectedTabPageIndex.ToString())
{
//rtb is selected page richtextbox
//......
}
}
