Tab control access to controls inside the tabs are not accessible.

it seems that I cannot access any of my controls in a previously created tab control on my form. In have attached the picture. If I click on any of the tabs they used to change the controls in the middle of the tab.

Hello Colin,

Thank you for the provided screenshot.

I have been looking into your question and I created a small sample trying to reproduce the described behavior. On my side everything works as expected and I am able to switch between tabs during both design and run-time and the controls for every UltraTabPage are properly displayed.

I would like to add that this behavior is possibly related to your other query from this forum thread. I would suggest upgrading your project to a single version before proceeding with resolving the current issue.

Attached you will find my sample for your reference. Please test it on your side and let me know how it behaves. If this is not an accurate demonstration of what you are trying to achieve please feel free to modify it and send it back to me along with steps to reproduce. Alternatively, if the behavior cannot be replicated please feel free to provide your own sample. Remove any external dependencies and code that is not directly related to the issue, zip your application and attach in in this case.

Having a working sample on my side, which I can debug, is going to be very helpful in finding the root cause of this behavior.

Thank you for your cooperation. 

Looking forward to hearing from you.

I tried your sample project and it worked well!  Not sure what could be the issue.

Hi Colin, 

As you mention that you have resolved to version 18.2 in this forum thread, I tested the previous sample by adding several controls in design-time and using version 18.2. I am still able to switch between the tabs and modify their individual controls.

It would be very helpful if you could reproduce this behavior in an isolated sample, so I can further investigate it.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

My concerns are the controls placed on the bottom do not look the same as in your project. any thoughts on that?

Hi Colin,

From what I can see the controls you have are UltraTabControl, UltraTabSharedControlsPage and four UltraTabPageControls , one for each tab. You are right that these controls  are usually not visible in the component tray below the form and can be interacted with through the designer.

After further investigation, I determined that this issue is related to the references in your project. Since you mentioned to be moving to another system, it is possible that the references are no longer pointing to the right location, which can cause the Visual Studio designer not to recognize the files. They should be pointed to your local installation folder. For example:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Infragistics\*your version*\Windows Forms\CLR4.0\Bin\*referenced assembly name*

The installation folder also depends on your system. Additionally, please make sure all dll-s can be found in our product folder and in the C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_MSIL folder as well.

Please, keep me posted on your progress.
