create dynamic tabs and use control of tabs in C#.net

Question

I created one emulator for one device, so each time the user clicks on the button I am creating one new form, and each form represents new devices.

now I am looking for another option by which inside my main form I can create multiple tabs (instead of multiple forms) which has controls like button, dropdown, text box, grid view. and the user can navigate between tabs, create a new tab dynamically, use controls inside of the tab.

any suggestion ??

Answer 1

Just use the TabControl on my 'main form'. and added tab pages at runtime.

tabControl1.TabPages.Add("New Tab");

placed an entire form inside a tab control ...this code will create a new instance of a form and place it in the last tab of a tab control:

frmDevice dev = new frmDevice();
dev.TopLevel = false;
dev.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None;
dev.Parent = tabControl1.TabPages[tabControl1.TabCount - 1];
dev.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
dev.Show();
