The following code example creates a TabControl with one TabPage. This example uses the IndexOf method to retrieve the tabPage1 index value. A ToolTip is used to display this value.

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

public:
   Form1()
   {
      this->tabControl1 = gcnew TabControl;
      this->tabPage1 = gcnew TabPage( "myTabPage" );
      this->tabControl1->TabPages->Add( tabPage1 );
      this->tabControl1->ShowToolTips = true;
      this->tabControl1->Location = Point(25,25);
      this->tabControl1->Size = System::Drawing::Size( 250, 250 );
      this->tabPage1->ToolTipText = System::String::Concat( "TabIndex = ", (tabControl1->TabPages->IndexOf( tabPage1 )).ToString() );
      
      // Gets the tabPage1 TabIndex value from the tabControl1 controls collection.
      // Converts the tabPage1 TabIndex value to a string.
      this->ClientSize = System::Drawing::Size( 300, 300 );
      this->Controls->Add( tabControl1 );
   }

};

int main()
{
   Application::Run( gcnew Form1 );
}

        this.tabControl1.Size = new Size(250, 250);

        this.tabPage1.ToolTipText = "TabIndex = " +
