TabControl close button problem

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   When creating TabControl tabs using InsertItem, I set .Closeable to false but the far right 'x' close button on the tab control is still displayed. When I click on a different tab and back again the close button disappears. 
As the TabControl does not raise a closing event it is critical that I stop this button from appearing and it seems .Closeable is bugged.
Any ideas ?
9.70 btw

	After playing around with your sample I have located the problem: If you put an item.Selected=true before the item.closeable=false then the 'x' button will show until the tab is hidden and reshown. Code as below: Set Item = TabControl1.InsertItem(0, "Item", 0, 0) Item.Selected = True Item.Closeable = False Moving the .Selected after the .Closeable fixes the problem.

	And after some more testing you cannot stop the first tab from being closeable if it is the only tab. Dim Item As TabControlItem Set Item = TabControl1.InsertItem(0, "Item", 0, 0) Item.Closeable = False produces a single tab with a close button! Attached project: 2006-02-24_101312_Sa.zip

	Yes, seems the bug with only one item :( Will fix it for next releasea But for one item you always can hide close button with: TabControl1.ShowNavigateButton xtpTabNavigateButtonClose, xtpTabNavigateButtonNone Thank you

	The problem was because TabControl not refreshed after Closable property changed. As another workaround you can resize it a little to reposition elements of TabControl: TabControl1.Width = TabControl1.Width + 100 Fixed for next release.
