Hide the Tabs - DockableWindow/TabStripPanel for Windows Forms Forum

Posted 20 years ago by Mark - Greenville, SC

Is there a way to easily hide the tabs on the DockableWindow control? For example, my application is using this, but I have a login form that I want to display initially, and not show the tabs (so it looks like a regular form). If I could just hide the tab (and arrows and 'x'), then I could show it once the login was successful.

Just wondering if this can be done.

Thanks,

Mark

You can do this. Just make sure you don't have any documents open and then set the DWManager.WorkspaceChild control to your Login UserControl. Once it is done, clear the WorkspaceChild property and then you're all ready to add docs.

Along the same lines, someone at my office asked for a way to hide the tabs above the document area. They would be able to change the active document window via a button strip elseware in the application. Is this possible.

thanks,
Jake

Not right now but I'll add it to the TODO list.
