Set the control's SelectedIndex property.

Hi,

I have a TabControl in my Windows Mobile 5.0 application running .NET CF
2.0. I have a requirement that needs to be able to switch between tab
pages
using hot keys. Does any one have any idea how this can be achieved.

I have written a simple function to test the functionality of actually
switching the tabs programatically by calling a function. But it does not
seem to work.

Sample piece of code is below:

if (String.Compare(e.KeyChar.ToString(), Keys.F.ToString(),
true) == 0)
{
//findTabPage.Show();
//findTabPage.Focus();
//findTabPage.Update();
//((TabFindItemPanel)findTabPage.Controls[0]).Show();

//tabControl.Controls[tabControl.Controls.IndexOf(findTabPage)].Show();

tabControl.TabPages[tabControl.Controls.IndexOf(findTabPage)].Focus();

tabControl.TabPages[tabControl.Controls.IndexOf(findTabPage)].Show();
}

findTabPage is a TabPage inside tabControl.

The commented lines are things i tried and not working. So I tried various
different routes.

Thanks,
Narasimham
