How can you make a given form the active tab in the mdi programmatically?

Can't you just set focus to it?

How can you make a given form the active tab in the mdi programmatically?

Call the Activate method of the form you want to make the active tab.

Forms can be found by looking at the MdiChildren property of the Manager.MDIParentForm,

In VB:

Code: Select all

Manager.MDIParentForm.MdiChildren(1).Activate

will set the second tab (it's a zero based index) to be the selected (active) tab.
