Disable tab pages on form loading, and then enable when you click

Question

I have four tabs in TabControl and in the form loading the first TabPage should be Enable and the others should be disabled. (Do not hide, delete or disable the contents of the tab).

Below is an example where the first TabPage is enabled and the others are disabled, and their text is also dull

I am new to C # looking for a simple and accurate solution in C # 2010

thanks

Answer 1

From what I read, you cannot directly disable tabs. You have few alternatives.

• The first alternative. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/252t3cec.aspx

• A second alternative may be to add a third party that you can install something like this.

But this is for older versions of .Net. I suppose you can search if something new is possible.
