XtraTabControl.SelectedTabPage Property

Gets or sets the currently selected tab page.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraTab

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraEditors.v24.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Win.Navigation

Declaration

C#

[DefaultValue(null)]
[DXCategory("Behavior")]
public virtual XtraTabPage SelectedTabPage { get; set; }

VB.NET

<DXCategory("Behavior")>
<DefaultValue(Nothing)>
Public Overridable Property SelectedTabPage As XtraTabPage

Property Value

Type	Default	Description
XtraTabPage	null	An XtraTabPage object which represents the tab page currently selected.

Remarks

Read this property’s value to determine which tab page is currently selected. Assign a tab page to this property to select it.

Disabled tab pages (pages whose XtraTabPage.Enabled property is set to false) cannot be selected. If the tab control does not own any pages, the SelectedTabPage property returns a null reference.

When the SelectedTabPage property value changes, the XtraTabControl.SelectedPageChanged event raises.

The code sample below illustrates how switch active tabs with CTRL+1 and CTRL+2 key combinations.

C#

xtraTabControl1.KeyDown += XtraTabControl1_KeyDown;

private void XtraTabControl1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.KeyCode == Keys.D1 && e.Control)
        this.xtraTabControl1.SelectedTabPage = xtraTabPage1;
    if (e.KeyCode == Keys.D2 && e.Control)
        this.xtraTabControl1.SelectedTabPage = xtraTabPage2;
}

VB.NET

Private xtraTabControl1.KeyDown += AddressOf XtraTabControl1_KeyDown

Private Sub XtraTabControl1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As KeyEventArgs)
    If e.KeyCode = Keys.D1 AndAlso e.Control Then
        Me.xtraTabControl1.SelectedTabPage = xtraTabPage1
    End If
    If e.KeyCode = Keys.D2 AndAlso e.Control Then
        Me.xtraTabControl1.SelectedTabPage = xtraTabPage2
    End If
End Sub
