asked on

disabling and enabling tabs in a tag control.

I have four tabs see image attached.
1. On load of the form I disable three of them using:
this.MainTabControl.TabPages.RemoveAt(1); // Update invisible until a row is selected or create button is clicked.
this.MainTabControl.TabPages.RemoveAt(1); // Error/Warning invisible until Load is completed.
this.MainTabControl.TabPages.RemoveAt(1); // Compare invisible until compare button is pressed.

So now I am left with one tab which is the SelectPriceListTab

Now if the user presses the create button then I want to enable the second tab button

this.MainTabControl.TabPages.Add(CreateUpdatePriceListTab);
this.MainTabControl.SelectTab(1);

So if I am in the selecttab disable all three tabs otherwise if I click on the datagrid row or create button on the selecttab then
show createupdatetab.
see two images.

but if user is changes the tab

private void MainTabControl_Selected(object sender, TabControlEventArgs e)
{
if MainTabControl. is SelectPriceListTab /// =====> what should be the syntax here.
HideTabs();
}

private void HideTabs()
{
this.MainTabControl.TabPages.Remove(CreateUpdatePriceListTab); // Update invisible until a row is selected or create button is clicked.
this.MainTabControl.TabPages.Remove(ErrorWarningsTab); // Error/Warning invisible until Load is completed.
this.MainTabControl.TabPages.Remove(CompareResultsTab); // Compare invisible until compare button is pressed.
}
