hi everyone..

I'm new here. i got a little problem with tab controlling.here is the problem...
I've added a new tab control with 3 tabs to my form. i want to hide tabpage2 on default view so I wrote tabpage2.dispose() method in formload event.

now I want to view that page by clicking a button placed in tabpage1.(tabpage1 is the default view) so i wrote,
1. tabpage2.show();
2. tabcontrol.selectedtab = tabpage2;
3. tabpage2.select();

but I couldn't get that tabpage again.

so, what should I do now??

That is essentially what I was saying. If you had tried to figure it out yourself then I would have helped you.

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    TabPage t1;
    private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        t1 = tabControl1.TabPages[1];
        tabControl1.TabPages.RemoveAt(1);
    }
    private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        tabControl1.TabPages.Insert(1, t1);
    }
}

What about Visible = false propery?

tabcontrol.Tabs[1]. Visible = false;

I am not experienced with the tab control in .Net but I hope you don't mind a suggestion anyway. Try setting the Enabled Property to false.

But probably what you need to do is to add and remove tabpages from the ControlCollection' the collection of tabpages.

you mean tabpage2.hide(); function ?? it doesn't work friend. that's why I used dispose(); function.I thought it's a hiding method. thank you for ur support. :)

Hi,

I am not sure but telling you. Instead of using Dispose() use Hide() as like Show().
