Help using tabs VS2012

Hello,

I am wondeirng if there is a function to enable/disable tabs individually. I know there is an "enable/disable" option in the properties menu but that seems to either enable or disable all of the tabs (which I do not want).

I would like to be able to... On the start up of my app, have the "Description" tab (1st tab) and the "Calibration" tab (2nd tab) enabled so the user's file can still be loaded and have all of the other tabs disabled. After the file is loaded, the rest of the tabs are enabled.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you in advance.

You cannot disable tabs in a TabControl by default. Check this out for some tips on customising a TabControl:

Thank you! although I personally think they should implement such functionality in a future patch, I appreciate the help.

A simple solution is enable/disable the controls in the tabs

Code:

---

        For j As Integer = 2 To TabControl1.TabCount - 1
            For Each ctl As Control In TabControl1.TabPages(j).Controls
                ctl.Enabled = False
            Next
        Next
