How to hide individual tabs in a TabControl

Jayhawks Rock

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);
