I have a setup/configuration utility that I am making. The form is split the left side has a nodeview that allows the user to select what they want to setup/configure, and the right side displays that screen.
I figured the easiest way to switch between those screens is to place them in a TabControl, but I dont want the tabs to display when its compiled. How can I turn off the display of the tabs?
I was wondering if there was a solution to replacing the tab control's tabs with custom tabs made in Photoshop. I know there are plenty of super expensive programs that can do it, but I was wondering if there was a way to do it programmatically. I was thinking that maybe it could linked in some way with a .DLL?

View 5 RepliesIve seen some discussion on here about how to hide tabs in a tabcontrol but they all seem to be in C or some variant. I havent seen one for vb.net (i cant do C)
What i want to do is hide or disable all some of the tabs till the user has logged in. Ive sorted out the login and logout. All i need to do is add the code to enable/disable some tabs until the user has logged in.
One of the great features of Page Frames in the now discontinued FoxPro language was that you could use a Page Frame (like a TabControl) and hide the tabs. The nice thing about this was that if you wanted (for example) to have simulated "frames" you could use a Page Frame control, hide the tabs, and that gave you endless frame that you could then access programmatically.I need to do something along the same lines. To further illustrate, if you look at any configuration screen in Office 2007, they all have a ListBox on the left, and then clicking on those Listbox selections brings up "frames" on the right with what you want to work with.This is the effect I want to create - but in .NET I cannot see a good control to use.
Panels - these seemed a good idea at first, but even when set to Visible and not Visible these frames hide each other so they dont seem like they will work.
GroupBoxes - Tried these but the same problem as with panels.
TabControl - Tried this, and it works great - but I DONT want the Tabs. Instead I want non-tabbed pages, that would then be like frames.
What is the best control to use? And, can I hide the Tabs somehow in the TabControl?
Since there doesn't appear to be a built-in ability to change the visibility of an individual tab page within a tab control, is there a generally accepted work around to do so?

View 1 RepliesI use VB. NET 2008. I'm starting to work with the Tab Control and command will want to know about techniques such as adding tabs at runtime using this control.
To illustrate what I'm saying, just take one checked on your browser or in the VB (Start Page, when we add other forms to our project).
I have a application with a tabcontrol. I dynamically open new tabs on which there is a custom control which is made of a graph and a datagridview with data. I fill this from a csv file. when I open few tabs like this my application memory goes over 120 MB. When I remove the tab I call the dispose on the custom control and a dispose for the tab. But the memory stays where it was (120+MB). It goes down only if I minimize the program. And when I show it again its around 10MB.

View 4 RepliesUsing vb.net 2008 Forms. I have a groupbox consisting of several textbox's and a push button. I put this groupbox in a control collection in order to validate each texbox when the push button is clicked.
The code to do this is as follows:
Private Sub bn_updateadditem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles bn_updateadditem.Click
Dim InvalidInput As Boolean = False
Controls.AddRange(New System.Windows.Forms.Control() {Me.GroupBox1})
Dim ctrl As Control
For Each ctrl In Controls
[Code] .....
This worked great. However when I moved this groupbox with all its controls onto a tab, the groupbox contents disappeared from the form after the control collection is created and contents validated (per above code).
I noticed that when using a single letter as the title on a tab of a Tab Control , the tab is bigger that it should . Look on this example :
The above Tab Control behaves normally because the text on each tab is sufficient to keep it big enough . The lower Tab Control , however , has its tabs too big . Is it possible to reduce its width ? I saw there is an ItemSize property of the Tab Controls , but unfortunately I can only modify the height of the tabs . No matter what value I set for its width , the width remains always the same (and larger than it should) ...
I'm having some problems when using this controls together, i have a small application that i made for a friend that intends to maintain data from people (clients). I used the tab control to separate the type of info, and use a global button to call the TableAdapterManager Update All command (i have 2 more tables in the database that have names of citys and types of professions to make it easy to fill all the data), some times it works others no... "Error Update 0 of 1" The form was built with drag and drop operations...

View 5 RepliesMy code is basically a file parser/editor and it handles most files fine as they hold a handful of records concerning family members. However there are a few files that crash when trying to deal with them. Here is the problem.Each family member record creates 3 tabs that hold an average of 3 group boxes each. Each group box holds an average of 3 text boxes.So each member record creates 3x3x3 = 27 text boxes and some files get up to 289 family members which = 7803 text boxes.
The problem is the rare file with 400+ member records = 10,800 text boxes which causes a crash due to using up all the window handles. Each member has a separate tab page (with 3 subpages) but really only a dozen or so member pages are visible in the GUI with scroll arrows to move through them so I was thinking of somehow making the GUI a scrollable window so the tabs get built, displayed and disposed as the user scrolls left and right through the member tabs.
The files are parsed into a 3d list DataList(x,y,z) where x is the page number, y is the group box number and z is the text box number. So all the data is available. The code then traverses MyList and builds GuiList(x,y) where x is the page number and y is the groupbox number with all the textbox.text linked to MyList(x,y,z) locations so all text changes are reflected in the MyList.
I already have a memberCount variable and I am thinking of building, say, the first 30 member tabs with the middle 10 being visible in the GUI. If the selected tab > 20, then dispose of the first 10 tabs and create tabs 30-40.I am thinking I will keep all the member tab pages so I don't have to deal with inserts and indexing problems but just dispose all the group boxes and text boxes for tab pages out of view. I already have a deep clone sub that clones members when the user wants to add a new family member and I am thinking I will have to add something similar when a tabpage is passed in for disposal, it traverses and disposes each text box, then disposes the group box for each group box on the tab page.Additionally, another routine will rebuild the group boxes from the data held in MyList(x,y,z) when a tabpage(x) is passed in.
remove the tabs from the TabControl and just buttons to control which screen is shown.Ive coded a form that uses buttons to hide and show panels but because you cant click buttons in design view, its extremely hard to edit the content in the panels.

I have a listview control on a form. This listview control is populated with at times thousands of listviewitems.Part of my process, is running through custom made filters, to hide unwanted items (before they're even inserted into the listview).So as I hinted earlier, the way I hide items that I don't want is by not inserting them at all. I'd like to make a shortcut available, that would allow me to show / hide the hidden items by simply pressing the shortcut.
My problem is that if I do this, I have to 'refresh' the listview items everytime as I do now ( by removing all and re-inserting the ones I want ).Is there no faster / better way than by removing / re-inserting the items ( which takes roughly 2-3 seconds ); which is a noticeable-enough delay? for a 'visible' property on the listviewitem that I could set to true / false, but that property doesn't appear to exist.As it stands, I have to resort to removing / re-inserting the new 'view' every time.
Is it possible to either hide and unhide a tab in a tab control?If not how can I add a tab and all the controls on it a run time? Reason i'm wanting this is that a application i'm looking at making will use tabs, the left menu will have options on various parts of the business when it comes to news it will open a tab for news... list the news if i click one and edit tab will show it i click a button for new it will open a tab to write new news..
