Standardmäßig gibt es kein Hide() oder Visible = true/false für TabPages. Man muss sich eines Tricks bedienen, bei dem die TabPages aus der internen Liste des TabControls gelöscht bzw. wieder hinzugefügt werden.
// TabPage "TabPage1", die zur Designzeit erstellt wurde, ausblenden TabControl1.TabPages.Remove(TabPage1); // TabPage "TabPage1", die zur Designzeit erstellt wurde, wieder am Anfang der Tabliste hinzufügen TabControl1.TabPages.Add(TabPage1); // TabPage "TabPage1", die zur Designzeit erstellt wurde, an zweiter Stelle in die Tabliste einfügen TabControl1.TabPages.Insert(1, TabPage1);
Im Folgenden wird eine Klasse beschrieben, die automatisiert per Index immer nur eine bestimmte TabPage eines TabControls in Form eines schrittweise durchschaltbaren, geführten Einstellungsassistenten anzeigt. Am Ende wird ein Startbutton freigeschaltet.
Aufruf-Beispiel:
// alle zur Designzeit erstellten TabPages von TabControl1 werden verwaltet
// die Buttons btnPrevious und btnNext (müssen nicht angegeben werden) schalten die TabPages um
// der Button btnStart wird auf der letzten Seite freigeschaltet.
// "<-", "->" sind strings, die innerhalb der Buttons zusätzlich zum Namen angezeigt werden
// true == TabPage.Text + [1/x] anzeigen
CTabSelector _TabSelector = new CTabSelector(TabControl1, btnPrevious, btnNext, btnStart, "<-", "->", true);
// schaltet die TabPages zurück
private void btnBkwd_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (_TabSelector != null)
{
_TabSelector.CurrentTabIndex--;
}
}
// schaltet die TabPages vor
private void btnFwd_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (_TabSelector != null)
{
_TabSelector.CurrentTabIndex++;
}
}
