Question

Hi, this is really basic stuff but i can’t seem to find a simple answer on the web. I’m using Visual Studio 2010, doing C# and I have two tabs in a basic tab control and a calculate button outside of the Tabcontrol, that I need to calculate different sums depending on which tab the user has selected.

My initial thought was to use an if statement along the lines of:

private void calculateButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (tabControl.tab1.selected == true)
            {
                 MessageBox.Show("whatever");
            }
            else
            {
                 MessageBox.Show("doesnt matter");
            }
        }

Any help would be great as you can probably tell I’m very new to programming, so thanks for taking time to answer
