tab controls - removing teh tab click

Hi,

I am using a tab control and what I am trying to do is eliminate the ability to click the tab to go to the next tab page.

I want to use a Next button on the bottom of each tab page to iterate though the next tab pages..

thanks

I initially was not going to use the tab pages but then I realized it would make designing what i wanted a lot easier...

I just dont want the tabs to be used because this is going on a touch screen monitor its sort of like the tabs represent a process from step 1 to step 5

so i dont want to give the ability to skip any steps

Brian Mulder

then removing them anyhow is no problem they will be visible in design time so you can still use them,

it will also look better :)

just have a label displaying step x of 5, and the buttons back, next, cancel

I read teh article on tabs (i think i was reading the right one)

but you wrote something along the lines of clear the tab control and then adding the tab pages

i tried that but it didn't solve what i was looking for...

Instead of clearing all the tabpages, you can Remove a single TabPage and re-add it later.

or maybe you can just disable it
