Tab controlling problem (C#)

Question

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??

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); } } // I GOT THIS ANSWER FROM A CODEPROJECT MEMBER.

What about Visible = false propery? tabcontrol .Tabs[1]. Visible = false;

Sam Hobbs · Answer

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.

Ramesh · Answer

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().
