deleting a tab control

Steve_Contris

Is there a way to make one of the tab controls on a form invisible or disabled without removing all the controls on it?

No,

If you want to preserve the orriginal form you can either save it to new form or export it to a fob.

I agree you can't make the whole tab invisable, but you can disable or hide the controls on it. And almost make it apear as if it is not there.

set the "Visable" property of each control on the tab to "No", and set the "Enabled" property to "No"

they will all still be there, but you won't see anything, the tab will appear to be blank

Then set the tab page name to be a blank space, nothing will appear on the tab, and if it is the last one on the list it will appear as if it doesn't exist.

That does come pretty close - I might see if that will make the people that are requesting this happy. I would rather not have to save off a copy of the form

No need to also set the "Enabled"="No". "Visible"=No is enough.

I agree. you could also add a FRAME Control to the TAB. Then put all the controls Inside the Frame. Set the "ShowCaption" Property of the TAB to NO

That way, you set the "Visible" Property for the FRAME instead of All the Controls on the TAB.

This is useful if you have MANY controls on the TAB.
