Hi! Unfortunately, TabPages don't have a Visible property, so you can either make the whole TabControl invisible or remove all unwanted TabPages from the TabPages collection of TabControl. You can also add TabPages to the TabControl at runtime when a menu item is selected. Regards, mav

you can make it invisible and set it visible when you need them but if you need to load them at run time you can do this remove the tab from InitializeComponent and write the method that initialize it when you need call it when you need to load the tab

what do you want to hide at runtime tab control or tab page if you need to hide tab page like mav.northwind said

this code sample load control at run time Button b=new Button(); b.Name="b1"; b.Text="Text"; b.Location=new Point(25,25); //add to form this.Controls.Add(b);

//to make tabcontrol invisible tabControl.Visible=false; //to select particular tabpage tabControl.SelectedTab=tabPage2;
