Hiding Tabcontrol horizontal scroll buttons

Hi All

I want to prevent the Windows Tabcontrol from showing the horizontal scroll
bar when the Number of Tabs exceeds the width of the control

I use code in 2 buttons to control the scrolling, as the default scroll
buttons are too hard to target on a Touch Screen

How do I do this?

Thanks for the reply

Had a quick look at your site and the control looks good

Will follow up in the future when I get some free time

(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.

I have a combo box with a horizontal scroll bar. (Used SetHorizontalExtent) The dropdown with horizontal scroll bar works fine when I have more items in the dropdown list. However when the number of items is less, the horizontal scroll bar comes over the last item. If there is only one item, I am not able to see that item because of Horizontal scroll.

I have a table that displays one row of images (thumbnails). When a user clicks on an image it opens up a bigger image below it. The row has about 20 cells. I have a <divtag which allows the user to scroll left and right to see all the images. The problem is that when the user scrolls to the middle and clicks on the image. The click causes a post back and the page loads again and the scroll bar goes to the left. I need to know how to...

Hello, I have an application that loads a set of database records into memory. I then have buttons to move to the first, next, previous or last record. I would like to add a horizontal scroll bar so that the user can skip around; to the middle, towards the end, etc. I'm not sure what event to use to allow a user to move the scroll bar but then capture the value when the mouse button is released. When I try MouseCaptureChanged it stops...

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,...
