Removing Tabpages Trouble

[daveh541]

An odd thing occurs when I remove a tabpage programmatically from my tabcontrol (odd to me, maybe not to others), the program loses it's abillity to close.

 

Can't click the little X button, no alt-f4, can't use my program's file menu- exit....

 

I have to to go into task manager and end the task.

 

Any ideas?

 

This only occurs when I keep the remove code in. If I set the File Menu - Exit to application.exit instead of me.close() it can quit, but I'm wondering if something is being overwritten, and how or if I can stop it.

 

Thanks for any help.

This is a bug in windows forms that occurs when you remove a control that contains the focus. To work around it, set the focus to another control outside the control you're removing just before you remove it.
