Hi everyone:

I'm trying to solve a doubt, does the default TabControl provided with the
..Net framework (ver 1.1) support to disable a tabPage? somehow??

Thanks
 
Hello Mick,

Nice work on the TabControlEX control -- so far -- is it stable?

Referring to your page where you show the control [1] I was wondering if you
intend to support sub-linked navigation on the area of the control where you
are describing the state of the control, i.e. "Appearance = Normal" for
example? Was that question clear?

I've been building a 2.0 site and using styled LinkButtons in MasterPages
for tabs. Lots of work.

It depends on what you are expecting.

Yes it does Disable, this results in the controls within the tabpage being
disabled but does not stop you selecting it. It also does not render the
Tab Text as disabled.

TabControlEX does this though and it's free:

If you'd like to code it yourself see the tips on my site:

Yes it's stable, I've had no bug reports for quite a while now.

I think I understand the question. I had thought of doing this, but in a
completely custom TabControl and not one Inherited from TabControl as
TabControlEX is. I decided against this though, since every time I see one,
the links change with selection of a new tab, and so it seems that this is
basicly just a toolbar (although it may be a custom one) docked to each
tabpage.

As you can see from my site, I'm not much of a web programmer and am not
even sure if this control will work in a web App.

Sorry, but I should have mentioned that I was talking about the Tab control
for windows forms and not the asp.net one.

By the way I could not browse any of the urls you provided Mick, will try it
out later.

Thanks a lot for your time.
 
I would need a tab control for ASP.NET deployments. There's real demand for
a robust ASP.NET tab control that is free or low cost.

Mick -- and others for this matter -- should check out these 2.0 Master Page
templates [1] Microsoft has put out to help solve the "uglies" :-)

I don't have VS2005 installed at the moment, and have no immediate plans to
install it because I only program controls, and only as a hobby, and there
are some nasty design time bugs in VS2005 that MS are currently working on.
If they fix them soon then I may upgrade, but as it is, I don't need the
headaches. I loved the smart tags and Control Glyphs in the new designers
though.

I'll have to download ASP.net Express and check out those templates though
(if my ISP will support them).
