(posted this in VB group but then realized I probably should have posted here)
I have a TabControl with several TabPages. Upon startup, I only want to
show the first TabPage, hiding the rest. Then once the user does some things,
I will show the other TabPages.
I have tried by putting TabPage2.Hide() in the Form_Load event, but no luck.
I put the same in a button to see if it was a timing issue with loading.
Still nothing.
What am I missing here??
Thanks!! 4 2550

The current Tab control doesn't support hiding/unhiding of individual
tag pages. Instead, you'll need to remove/add the tab pages dynamically
at run time.

Wow. That seems like something basic that would be there. I've been doing it
in Delphi for some years now. But that is neither here nor there.
I would assume that I would have to dynamically create all the controls on
the form too.
Could I have a tabcontrol with the hidden pages on it, with the entire
control hidden, and then just move them (change the parent, or something) to
the tabcontrol that is visible?
Any pointers would be much appreciated.

Stress Puppy,
That is not so strange that you do it in Delphi already many years, when I
see an application with Tabpages I always start to assume that it is written
with Delphi, it seems always for me if there are no other applications made
with Delphi than with tabpages at the right and a treeview on the left side.
However the dotNet tabcontrol has a bug at the moment (What means for me
because almost everybody knows this one that there are not so many bugs).
To resolve that bug is the simple solution to make a simple loop wherein you
remove and add the pages when you need that from the tabcontrol. It is not
removing the pages or creating them new. It is only removing and setting the
reference in the tabcontrol so not a real performance consuming operation.
I hope that this gives an idea.
Cor
Hiding a control is the same as setting it's Visible property to false. When
a tabpage is not selected it is not visible. This is why the Hide/Visible
methods do not work as you expect.
I would just have the one tabcontrol, and when I have finished adding and
designing tabpages, I would remove the tabpages from the tabcontrol by
removing the "TabControl.Con trols.Add(TabPa geX)" lines in
InitializeCompo nent(). Then, at runtime, add tabpages to the tabcontrol as
they become available for user interaction.
Instead of editing the InitializeCompo nent() code, you may wish to clear the
tabpages and then add the first tabpage, in the forms load method. This way
all tabpages are always available for editing at designtime.

Hi,
Does anyone know how to hide certain TabPages inside a TabControl in VS.NET
2003?
I've seen code to remove the tabpage but I want to show/hide based on the
user's access rights each time, rather than removing the tabpage.
There doesn't seem to be an Enabled or Visible property and setting Locked =
True doesn't seem to do anything either.

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? 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,
I've a tabcontrol that contains many similar tabpages (exactly the same
structure with different information), the tabpages number isn't known in
the design time it depends of the data.
Is there a way to clone ( copy the structure) a tabpage to create anew one
by code?
thanks.

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

Hello gurus,
I want to have a Form with a TabControl, this TabControl will contain
TabPage that has controls in it, this TabPage is prepared at design time.
I want in runtime to duplicate the TabPage that wad made during the design
time together with all its controls, but without the controls data.
Is there an easy way to do that?
