yes speling vari good

so first u take sum orange juice and u write the word retard on the cu p and then you eat it viola 

This is fairly simple to do and can be done as far as I know three ways. i presonally use and highly recommend method number 2 but yea

-------------method 1

You would need one tab control and a list of arrays

on a tab deselecting you would add to the list an array

 this array would have an index 0 being either the tab index or the tab title and index 1 being the text to be stored

on tab select, you would simply iterate thru the list and check to see if the array index 0 matches the tab index or name then set the text

pros of this method -

it works thats about the only good

cons -

its dumb and overcomplicated

uses more code than whats needed

----------------method 2

This is my personal favorite way of doing this and its great.

Step one get one tab control

Step two get your text editor of choice

Step three use the tab page tags.

Step four profit.

how this works - tab pages are treated as there own control meaning they have tags but what are tags? well tags are commonly used to

store data closely related to that control and well why dont we use the tag to well idk store some data. all you would have to do is check if the tag isnt null on tab selecting and if it isnt null then set the text and boom done no need for complex code and for saving the text? well same thing on tab deselecting just set the tag value to the text and booom done.

pros -

super simple to code

can be codded in like idk 5-10 lines of code total

only uses one text editor

super simple to add and supports every text editor.

reliable

cons -

i litterally cant think of any cons

-----------method 3

this is the popular method everyone uses for some reason over the tag method so this is what it is

you create a new instance of the text editor and dock it to the tagpage thats it

in theory yea its simple but the tag method is 100x superior due to the fact this method is harder to code

and in most cases your going to be using a monaco or ace and if you use chromium then say bye bye to your ram(ive tested this)

so yea all in all this is popular because everyone does it not because its practical and simple

pros -

you can find code for it everywhere

everyone uses this method

reliable

cons -

creates a new instance of the control every time you make a new tabpage which isnt very poggers

harder to code

kinda gay ngl
