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
