How to react to Events from Dynamically created TabPages in a TabControl

I have a tab control. For each new Customer selected a tabpage gets added. So, essentially the controls are the same on each tab page. I have generic event handlers for each of the controls. Since the tabpages are dynamically added..how do I respond to events raised by each tab. (since the event handlers are the same for a control in each of the tab pages, how do I figure out which tabpage/Customer invoked the event handler and access the other controls in the tabpage.)

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

How to react to Events from Dynamically created TabPages in a TabControl

Since the event is fired by a control on the tabpage, the sender is the control. I tried accessing the container of the control to then use that to cast to a tabpage and access all the other controls on the tabpage, but I got an null reference exception.

I am currently trying to use the selectedtab property to tell me what tabpage it is and then accessing the controls on the page.

Any suggestions/solutions are welcome.

The sender object of the event handler method should tell you which page fired the event. You can cast it to a TabPage and check its properties, maybe the name.

Actually, sender would tell you which control fired the event. This is ok if you clicked on a tabpage, but if you clicked on a control in a tabpage you can get it's parent tabpage as follows:

  Dim ClickedControl as Control = DirectCast(sender,Control)
  Dim ControlsTabPage as TabPage = DirectCast(ClickedControl.Parent,TabPage)

Since the TabPage must be selected in order for you to click on one of it's controls (unless you are mimicking a Click through code), you could just use:

  CustomerTabControl.SelectedTab
