How to hide the entire tab on Tabstrip control?

Thank you!

Try,

SSTab1.TabVisible(<index>)= False

where the index is the index of the tab you want to hide.

Sorry, that's for the Tabbed Dialog control not the tab strip control.

Use the remove method of the Tabs Collection.

TabStrip1.Tabs.Remove intTabIndexToRemove

"Two strings walk into a bar. The first string says to the bartender: 'Bartender, I'll have a beer. u.5n$x5t?*&4ru!2[sACC~ErJ'. The second string says: 'Pardon my friend, he isn't NULL terminated'."

DrJavaJoe,

I tried this method. It removes the tab, not hides it. I believe, I would need to recreate the tab from the scratch in this case.

Have you considered switching your tabstrip control? I started using the SStab (tabbed dialog) control and have never looked back.

When you say create from scratch are you implying that you are putting the controls on the tabstrip? The tabstrip control is not a container so you should be placing the controls on a frame or picturebox then changing the visible property of the frame or picture box as appropriate. If you want to add a tab to the tabstrip just use the add method of the Tabs Collection. Now this could be a whole lot easier just using the SSTab as zemp mentioned.

DrJavaJoe,
I assumed tab specific properties like caption or key. Yes, I was aware of the fact that Tabstrip is not a container but your reply convinced me that Remove method is not bad alternative for the not existing Visible property in this case.

zemp,

Yes, I did. I am working with existing project that utilizes Tabstrip.

Thank you!

One thing that is nice about the tabstrip is that it has a nice look to it when incorporating XP Themes.
