Question

I have three Tabs in my Windows Forms form. Depending on the selected RadioButton in the TabPages[0], I added few dynamic controls on the relevant TabPage. On the Button_Click event the controls are added, but the problem is I’m not able to remove the dynamically added controls from the other (irrelevant) TabPage.

Here’s my code:

Label label235 = new Label();
TextBox tbMax = new TextBox();
label235.Name = "label235";
tbMax.Name = "txtBoxNoiseMax";
label235.Text = "Noise";
tbMax.ReadOnly = true;
label235.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Blue;
tbMax.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.White;
label235.Size = new Size(74, 13);
tbMax.Size = new Size(85, 20);

if (radioButton1.Checked)
{
    label235.Location = new Point(8, 476);
    tbMax.Location = new Point(138, 473);

    tabControl.TabPages[1].Controls.Add(label235);
    tabControl.TabPages[1].Controls.Add(tbMax);

    tabControl.TabPages[2].Controls.RemoveByKey("label235");
    tabControl.TabPages[2].Controls.RemoveByKey("tbMax");
}
else
{
    label235.Location = new Point(8, 538);
    tbMax.Location = new Point(138, 535);

    tabControl.TabPages[1].Controls.RemoveByKey("label235");
    tabControl.TabPages[1].Controls.RemoveByKey("tbMax");

    tabControl.TabPages[2].Controls.Add(label235);
    tabControl.TabPages[2].Controls.Add(tbMax);
}

Where am I making that mistake?

First of all, tbMax‘s name is not “tbMax”, but “txtBoxNoiseMax”. So for one, it won’t be able to find the TextBox on RemoveByKey.

You’re making new controls each time.
