Help with TabControl

I have a TabControl (TabControl1) containing 3 TabPage's (TabPage1, TabPage2
and TabPage3)

under certain circumstances i need to make some of these tab pages invisible

ive tried
me.tabpage1.vis ible = false

but nothing happens and the tab pages is still visible

when i set the whole of the TabControl.Visi ble = False the whole of the tab
control dissapears as it should

how do i set a tabpage to be invisible i would have thought the above would
have worked but it didnt

Thanks

the visible property will return true or false depending if the tabPage has
been selected and is showing.

There is a hide method, but that does not seem to work. I think adding and
removing tabs is a bit drastic though.

The 'Visible' property is not implemented for the 'TabPage'. You may want
to use the TabControl provided with the Magic Library:

ACK. But there is no other way for the Windows Forms TabControl.

i suppose subclassing it would be the answer for ease of management.

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

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. The problem is that I don't know how to bring up the graphical design interface for the TabControl. 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 converted a VB6 program to Visual Basic 2005 (Running on Windows XP). I have a TabControl with (2) tabs with left side alignment. My problem; with 2005 the Tab Captions (Text) does not show (the tabs are there but no text). If the Tabs are aligned on the Top, there is no problem. My work area is constrained on the form; therefore Top Alignment is not possible. The TabControl will work correctly with Windows Vista regardless of...

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. ...

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