Super-lightweight WinForms TabControl

Lutoslaw

This is a tab control without tabs for those who don't need them (eg when the SelectedIndex property is set programmaticaly).

public class NoTabControl : ContainerControl
{
private int selectedIndex = -1;

public int SelectedIndex
{
	get { return selectedIndex; }
	set
	{
		if (value < 0 || value >= Controls.Count)
			throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException();
		if (selectedIndex != -1)
		        Controls\[selectedIndex\].Visible = false;
		selectedIndex = value;
		Controls\[selectedIndex\].Visible = true;
	}
}
protected override void OnControlAdded(ControlEventArgs e)
{
	base.OnControlAdded(e);
	e.Control.Visible = false;
}

}

Not sure if it is wicked enought for this forum but can be useful anyway.

Huh? Why would you use a control for something you dont need?

I think you misunterstood me. By "tab" I meant a clickable area with a title which is used to switch between panels. Panels in the NoTabControl can be switched programmaticaly, but no actual tabs are rendered.
