Windows Forms FAQs

How do I keep the tab order in a TabControl from changing when the Form is closed and opened?

This seems to be a known issue with the TabControl designer. The designer seems to automatically reorder the tabs while serializing changes made in the designer.

To work around this issue, in your constructor, after the call to InitializeComponent, you could remove all the tab pages and add them back in the desired order.
