How to make TabPage in TabControl disabled/invisible?

 

TabConltrol1.TabPages(0).Visible=False and

TabConltrol1.TabPages(0).Enabled=False

 

have no effect on tab "ears"

I don't believe you can hide or show individual tabs, as they're not actual controls. What they are is an enumeration telling the framework how to render a tabbed dialog. So, with that said, you would need to remove the tab from the enumeration altogether to hide it, and add it back in to show it.

But where I can store it while it is hidden? Or I have to recreate all controls on it every time I show it?

[Derek Stone]

You store it in a variable of type TabPage.

Thank you. That makes sense. One problem, though. When I want to add it back I have to use TabControl1.Controls.Add (t)

and it adds the page to the end. I don't see any property that will allow me to show the tab at a specific place. DO you know how to do it?

[Derek Stone]

Me.TabControl1.Controls.Clear()
Me.TabControl1.Controls.AddRange(New System.Windows.Forms.Control() {Me.TabPage3, Me.TabPage2, Me.TabPage1})

 

I've yet to find a better solution.
