public bool Contains (System.Windows.Forms.TabPage page);

member this.Contains : System.Windows.Forms.TabPage -> bool

Public Function Contains (page As TabPage) As Boolean

Parameters

page: TabPage

The TabPage to locate in the collection.

Returns

Boolean

true if the specified TabPage is in the collection; otherwise, false.

Examples

The following code example initially creates a TabControl with three TabPage objects. The first two tab pages are added directly to tabControl1 by the AddRange method. The Contains method determines tabPage3 is part of the tabControl1 controls collection. Because tabPage3 was not found in this collection, it was added by the Add method.

using namespace System::Drawing;
using namespace System::Windows::Forms;
public ref class Form1: public Form
{
private:
   TabControl^ tabControl1;
   TabPage^ tabPage1;
   TabPage^ tabPage2;
   TabPage^ tabPage3;

public:
   Form1()
   {
      this->tabControl1 = gcnew TabControl;
      array<System::String^>^tabText = {"tabPage1","tabPage2","tabPage3"};
      this->tabPage1 = gcnew TabPage( tabText[ 0 ]->ToString() );
      this->tabPage2 = gcnew TabPage( tabText[ 1 ]->ToString() );
      this->tabPage3 = gcnew TabPage( tabText[ 2 ]->ToString() );
      
      // Populates the tabControl1 with two tab pages.
      array<TabPage^>^tabPages = {tabPage1,tabPage2};
      this->tabControl1->TabPages->AddRange( tabPages );
      
      // Checks the tabControl1 controls collection for tabPage3.
      // Adds tabPage3 to tabControl1 if it is not in the collection.
      if ( tabControl1->TabPages->Contains( tabPage3 ) == false )
            this->tabControl1->TabPages->Add( tabPage3 );

      this->tabControl1->Location = Point(25,25);
      this->tabControl1->Size = System::Drawing::Size( 250, 250 );
      this->ClientSize = System::Drawing::Size( 300, 300 );
      this->Controls->Add( tabControl1 );
   }
