Author Show/Hide tab page in TabStrip control
its_faiz@hotmail.com

2005-11-24, 3:55 am

We are developing an application in VB6. We have used TabStrip control
to display multiple tab pages with different information. We need to
either enable/disable or show/hide a tab page for certain conditions,
which appears to be impossible with TabStrip control.

Has someone achieved this with TabStrip control (i.e. show/hide or
enable/disable a specific tab page)? We don't want to use SSTab control
that provides this feature, because it would change the look and feel
of this application from other application that have been developed by
using TabStrip control.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Regards,

Gsox

The TabStrip consists of a collection of Tab objects (TabStrip.Tabs). You
can use the normal methods you use for all collections (Add, Remove, etc) to
make any colletion you want. For further information, review the
documentation.

Adding to the pile (btw BUGS is not an appropriate crosspost for this type
of question), the SSTab can be made to look quite a bit like a TabStrip by
setting its Style property to 1 (ssStylePropertyPage). It doesn't support XP
Themes though.

SSTab1.Style = ssStylePropertyPage
