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

Can't reproduce it with 9.81, may be it was fixed already

try this sample:

Do you see problem with it with 9.70 release?

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!

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.

workaround worked fine.

thanks.
