Re: TabItem and controls as array

Judith,
I'm unclear on one point.

How are the control IDs getting into this array?

I ask this because if you are using findChildren(TabItemX) you will get all
controls that are in the TabControl, not just the TabItem you specified.

If, however, you are explicitly placing the items created for a given
tabitem, then I'm at a loss to explain the effect.

Is it possible you can supply a small test program that demostrates the
problem?

cheers,
Derek Parnell
