Phil,

You can set a panel on your tabpage.
Dock that fill

Place your controls on that

And than enable disable the panel.

I hope this helps?

Simply set the tabpage's 'Enabled' property to 'False'. This property is
not accessible at designtime, you you will have to set it at runtime.

You don't need to disable each control individually. Disabling the tabpage
will disable all controls contained in the tabpage too.

Maybe they decided to hide the property because the tabpage's header text is
not drawn in disabled style.

I want to place a tabControl with almost identical properties on several forms. I think the best way is to define a UserControl that inherits System.Windows.Forms.TabControl, and place all my controls on it.

I suppose I COULD just design it as a UserControl and place a TabControl on it, but that seems a bit... inelegant (I'm going to...

I have a few hundred forms in my application. All are based on a custom base form class. I decided that I wanted to globally change the look and feel of many of the controls in my application - including the tab control. I did this by writing a component that I attached to the form. The component has a "Start" function which takes the form as a paramater. This cycles through all the controls on the form, changes some of the properties...

Hi all In a Visual Studio 2005 C# project, I have a simplest tabcontrol with two tabpages. When I set tab control's Alignment property to Right, tab texts (captions) disappear. Does anybody know how to fix this? I tried this on two computers, at work and at home, both with Windows XP with latest service packs, and Framework 2.0 and 3.0 with latest SP.

Hi all, New poster here! I'm having some difficulty updating a tabcontrol cross-threads. The general idea is : the main thread is the owner of the tab control and the form controls. However, due to the vast amount of data to populate listviews within the tabs, I have created a worker thread (an implementation of a BackgroundWorker) to form the data and populate a tabcontrol 'offline', so that it doesn't interfer with (i.e freeze) the UI. ...
