Title: small C# question..
Post by: jwalker on March 10, 2012, 02:09:28 pm

in vb.net it could be done like this:

Code: [Select]

CType(TabControl1.SelectedTab.Controls.Item(0), RichTextBox).Textthis is to change the text in a rich text box in a certain tab page.
since there is no such function in C#, how would i do this?

Well, there is a C# function, but it's not actually a function. CType is VB's way of casting. There are two ways you can do what you want to do in C#:

Code: [Select]

RichTextBox rtb = TabControl1.SelectedTab.Controls[0] as RichTextBox;
Then you would access the text by using "rtb.Text". The other way you could do this is by direct casting:

Code: [Select]

((RichTextBox)TabControl1.SelectedTab.Controls[0]).Text
