TabPage / TabControl (can't close tabs)

Hi,

Does anybody know if it's possible to have the small "x" on the tabpages in
a tabcontrol ? I need a nice way to close them, without a big, ugly buttom
on the tabpage itself. It would be cool if the "x" was on the tab "header"
(the one you click on when you want to switch to a tab).

Thanks,

Bene

see the TabControl at

They have Visual Studio type Tab Controls (where the X is in the top
right corner of the row with all tab "headers").

maybe i'm oversimplifying it, but it seems like it wouldn't be too hard to
override the OnPaint method, paint an X, and then detect mouseclicks on that
X and close the tab when it's clicked.

hi michael,

thanks alot. i haven't seen that one before. but the X is not on the header,
but at the right side next to them. it's good, but it would be awesome if
the X was on each header itself.

but thanks alot !

I've researched as much as I can on the issue, but I've not found any clearly defined statement that acknowledges that the Hide method for a TabPage object just doesn't do what it's supposed to do. This appears to be a bug, or maybe I'm using it incorrectly? TabPage.Hide should hide the referenced TabPage object, should it not? Do I have to 'refresh' the Windows form somehow? The closest I've come to any means of hiding a TabPage from...

Hi! I've made a form with combobox and a tabcontrol. Each time the value of combobox changes I need to show only one tabpage from tabcontrol. It works, but the tabcontrol bookmark of selected tabpage is visible. I could be great if it's possible to hide it beacuse this element is useless in my case. Can anybody help me?

Hi 1) I want to create a TabPage class in design mode - how do I do it? What type of project should I use?

Hi everyone, I have a tabcontrol on a form that contains 4 tabs. I want to make each tab a seperate form because there is a great deal of code behind each page, and organizationally it was easier to have each one seperate. My idea was to just add and remove each form as necessary based on what page the user clicked on, but I am getting an error when I try to add the form as a tabpage: Dim frm as new Form1

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
