Can you hide forms on TabbedWorkspace

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

   Hi, I am working with the Shortcut Bar and Command Bar on an MDI Application.  I am using the CommandBar to show a tabbed MDI interface 

(using)

Set Workspace = Me.CommandBars1.ShowTabWorkspace(True)

this works OK however because I have a couple of forms on my shortcut bar (that are used for navigation), the tabbed workspace shows these forms as on its tabbed pane.  

I want to not show these forms as tabs on the workspace... is this possible?

Thanks in Advance

Kevin Dube

	don't make it an mdi child...you should also set the Z order. if you still want it as a mdi child, try setting it from where you call it(manually using code).

	Actually I didn't quite tell you the correct situation... the forms that are showing up that I do not want to show up are actually just minimized icons (but are still mdi child windows) on my mdi application. So I think I have to keep them as MDI children.. but the question still remains is there a way to not show them in the tabbed folders...

	here is the answer from technical support: You can use TabControlItem.Visible propery to hide tab. call it after you add form or in Workspace_NewItem event: to hide after you show form frmD.Show Workspace.Refresh Workspace.FindItem(frmD.hwnd).Visible = False to hide in event: Private Sub Workspace_NewItem(ByVal Item As XtremeCommandBars.ITabControlItem) Item.Visible = False End Sub
