[C#] Hiding a Tab - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Artsemis · 04-16-2005, 10:44 AM

Okay I have the following:

Code:

private System.Windows.Forms.TabPage tab1;

And I need to hide this tab when a certain menu Item is clicked. In the code for the menuitem, I have the following:

Code:

tab1.Hide();

And nothing is happening. The other code I have contained in that same block is working fine, I just cant get the tab hidden.

Thanks

It's been a little bit since I've worked with C# doing Windows Forms, but the Tag object should have a "Visible" property - can you set it to false?

No. There is a visible property for the tab controller that holds all of the tabs, but hiding it obviously hides all tabs.

ugh.. I want to say I have done this, but I don't remember completely.

I can tell you a dirty hack to get the needed output. Build two Tab Containers and when they click something make one of them visible and hide the other one. This will basically just switch out the entire controller for the "new" one.

This might be what you want:

Code:

// "hide" tab page
tabControl1.TabPages.Remove(tabPage1);

// and to show it again, just re-add it to the collection:
tabControl1.TabPages.Add(tabPage1);
