BasicIdeCtl in TabControl Example Code with Comments

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { // selecting tabPage2 initializes the BasicIdeCtl tabControl1.SelectedTab = tabPage2; tabControl1.SelectedTab = tabPage1;

// WinWrap Basic execution has encountered an unhandled run-time error // show the IDE so the error message box is not displayed private void basicIdeCtl1_HandleError(object sender, EventArgs e) { tabControl1.SelectedTab = tabPage2; } // WinWrap Basic execution has paused because a break point // has been encountered or a stop instruction has been // executed or an unhandled run-time error has occurred private void basicIdeCtl1_Pause_(object sender, EventArgs e) { tabControl1.SelectedTab = tabPage2; }

// default AttachToForm behavior shows the correct form, now select the IDE's tab private void basicIdeCtl1_ShowForm(object sender, EventArgs e) { tabControl1.SelectedTab = tabPage2; } private void tabControl1_Deselecting(object sender, TabControlCancelEventArgs e) { if (e.TabPageIndex == 1) basicIdeCtl1.Run = false; }
