Hi All,

Here is my problem.......

I have a tab control with two tabpages , let's say that tabp1 and tabp2.
Under tabp1 i have some controls e.g: button and textbox..
There is a property called Enabled=true/false is there for the tab pages tabp1 and tabp2.
Let's say that i have set the Enabled property of tabp1 to false and tabp2 to true.

For the above requirement tabp1 tab should disable along with the controls and tabp2 tab should enable along with controls in tabp2 , but tabp1 tabis disabling but controls are not .


Coul anybody help me out?

Regards
Suresh

It's not really a designer issue and this question should be in a WinForms group (assuming it's a winforms app), but...

What language are you using?
Is this a standard System.Windows.Forms.TabControl?

From VS2005 on TabPage.Enabled property has been hidden but is still usable if you code it. If you Disable a tabpage then the tab will not disable but the controls contained within it will.

I guess there is no alternative except to code it.

eg.,

It would be really appreciated, if any one suggest other options.
