Have been trying to find a way that i can pick up when a user changes the selected tabpage shown in the ribbon, but havent been able to.


I looked through the ribbon events, but couldnt see anything there, also tried a few events from the ribbon tabpage itself like _clientsizechanged and _sizechanged but none of those work.


Cant even see a property that i could check for on a timer, although I know that would be a horrible way to do it.

Ok now i feel real stupid (or has that post been edited?) 


Yes, currenttabpage and currenttabpagechanged are exactly what i was looking for. Many many thanks.

Well, when i first read this post i felt real stupid for not seeing it there - could have sworn i looked for anything sounding remotely like (selected) index.


However, having tested it out, tabindex_changed never seemed to be fired, and when i checked the tabindex property it never changed from being one. Then i realised, tabindex is just the tab index property, for when a user presses [tab] to cycle through the controls - nothing to do with the tab page or indeed which one is selected/shown.

You are probably looking for the Ribbon.CurrentTabPage property and Ribbon.CurrentTabPageChanged event. If not, please give more details
