I have a tabcontrol that has several attached tabpage's. Not all of the
tabpages should be accessible at all times. Ideally I'd like to do one of
the following:
- hide those tab pages that should not currently be accessible
OR
- change the font on the tab for the tabpages that are disabled (like gray
them out or something) as a means of user feedback that they're inactive
The problem is that none of this appears possible. Sure, I can catch the
click event on the "disabled" tabs but I want some visual indicator that
they are not currently enabled. Makes sense, right? Anybody come across
this? This seems like pretty basic functionality.
FYI - the Hide(), Visible, and Enabled methods/properties do not satisfy
this requirement. They work, but as it says in MSDN, this poor behavior was
"by design". Why doesn't that line work for me?

In order to show / hide tabpages, you must Remove them from the
TabControl and Add them back in.
There are some examples in this group of how to handle the Paint event
yourself for the tab pages in order to change fonts / colour on the
tabs themselves.
This is one of the areas in which the "by design" behaviour of TabPages
is inadequate. Another is the inability to "highlight" the tab text
when there is an ErrorProvider flashing on another page, so there is an
error that the user can't see. In short, TabPages need help; I hope
that they improve in some future version.

Hi all,
I've got a tabControl, initially with one tabPage, along with two
buttons, one to add another tabPage, and one to delete the current
(selected) tabPage.
On each tabPage, when it is created, is an pictureBox.
Other stuff on the form leads to the creation of a graphic, say
myImage, which I would like to assign to the pictureBox.Image property

New to C#...
I have a tab page with a handful of controls on it (label, combobox, etc.).
Is it possible to "boilerplate a tabPage with the controls "like a MDI
childForm" so that adding a new tabPage includes the controls.
Any examples, documentation or comments would be helpful.

Can someone tell me why you cannot drag something onto a tabcontrol
with zero tabpages? I have a kind of 'docking' interface and relies
heavily on GDI+, a screenshot is available here:
http://netron.sourceforge.net/Biotron3Shot.jpg
You can move tab pages in the different panes, unless it's totally
empty (TabCount=0). Is there an alternative?
Thanks a lot,

Hi
1) I want to create a TabPage class in design mode - how do I do it? What
type of project should I use? Is it going to be a custom control?
2) I have a TabControl that I would like to add to it the TabPage created in
step 1. I don't want to draw the TabPage on the Tabcontrol in design mode,
but to have a few TabPage controls that I candynamicaly load to the
TabControl at runtime.
Thanks

Hi Guys
Having problem with the tab control, I need to set the background color to
something different than the standard, I have found code on the web and now
can redraw the tabpage buttons so the are set to the right color, I can
obviously change the tabpage colour but I am left with a grey top edge(Where
there are no buttons) when the background of the form is changed any ideas
on what I can do?
Mike.

Although lots of people described how to workaround the lack of ability
to hide and show tab pages on a tab control, I couldnt find a code
example so I made one. Create a class that inherits from the
tabcontrol and then add the following
Private htVisibleVal As New Hashtable
Private htVisibleKey As New Hashtable
Private htInvisibleKey As New Hashtable
'stores the current tabpages

Hi,
I am doing a small tool in .Net(C#). I have a TabControl in my application; I need to achieve two functionality in it as follows.

For example let’s say we have 2 tabpage named 'Tab1' and...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
