Set visibility on single tab in tabcontrol (winforms)

Question

Is there a way to set the visibility of a single tab in a tabcontrol? I thought something simple like this should work, but does not seem to to anything.

tabControl1.TabPages[1].Visible = false;  
tabControl1.Refresh();

There will be a main tab that always shows but I want to have other tabs that I can "turn on\off". I don't want to remove the tabs since I may need to show then again.

Answer 1

What's wrong with showing them again?

Answer 2

Times haven't changed since 2.0:

Answer 3

It's obviously not part of the standard Windows Forms library, but the Infragistics UltraTabControl has (among other features) a Visible property for each tab page.

Answer 4

You can remove the tabControl page this.tControl1.TabPages.Remove(this.tControl1.TabPages["tabPageName"]);
