How to hide individual tabs in a TabControl

Question

Hi,

Working in C# 2008. I have a TreeView and a TabControl on a split panel. I have 8 TabPages on the TabControl. I need to Hide/Show Tabs based on the the TreeView selection. However, using the tabControl1.tabPages[0].Hide(); seems to do nothing, for any of the tabPages. Any idea what I am missing? Is there another/better way to do this?

Thanks,
Bruce

HI You can do this way TabPage tabPageSave = null; private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { //hide a tab by removing it from the TabPages collection this.tabPageSave = tabControl1.SelectedTab; this.tabControl1.TabPages.Remove(this.tabPageSave); } private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { //show a tab by adding it to the TabPages collection if (this.tabPageSave != null) { int loc = tabControl1.SelectedIndex; this.tabControl1.TabPages.Insert(loc, this.tabPageSave); } } Thank you

Thanks so much. With a minimum of tweaking this worked perfectly in my code.

You can dynamically remove and inseret TabPages into the TabControl.TabPages collection to hide and show tabs at runtime. TabPage tabPageSave = null; private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { //hide a tab by removing it from the TabPages collection this.tabPageSave = tabControl1.SelectedTab; this.tabControl1.TabPages.Remove(this.tabPageSave); } private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { //show a tab by adding it to the TabPages collection if (this.tabPageSave != null) { int loc = tabControl1.SelectedIndex; this.tabControl1.TabPages.Insert(loc, this.tabPageSave); } }
