Is it posible to hide ONLY ONE tab in tab control?
Better to be critical then self-critical :)

    Hi,

    Try making all the controls in that tab NOT VISIBLE and I think that the tab itself will disappear (according to the Application Developers Guide).

    I end up with blank tab :-k
    Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

    The tab will not disappear.
    The tab only disappears if you make the property "PageNames" of the tab blank for that page.
    Eg. PageNames=Page1,Page2,Page3,,Page5 => the fourth page you wil not see.

    So, in other words, I can't hide only one tab. What I wanted was to show the last tab in tab control only when some conditions were met.
    Removing tab from PageNames property doesn't cut it :(

    I am not sure (never tried it out), but you can create 2 tabcontrols, and hide 1 of those 2 depending on the condition.

    I know.
    I have 4 tabs a they have about 30 controls. I wanted to add another control with some specific (rarely used) controls. Depending on one control I would show that last tab.
    Creating another Tab control (with 4 + 1 new tab) would duplicate the côde that I allready have for the existing controls. Right?

    Sorry, correction:
    ...I wanted to add another TAB...

    Maybe if you give the controls on the 2 tabs the same name, it is possible that you don't have to do it. But I wouldn't trust it anyway.
    Also, maintaining the form later gets a lot more complicated.
    The best thing you can do is just hide the controls you don't need. If there is a blank tab, ... well so be it.

    I did that, but I hoped... :(
    Thx for help.

    I have one (only one? :)) more question:

    When relating one table to another, if you want to delete something in one table a automatically delete the same thing in the other you have to put that in côde, right?
