Answer 6

Omid's answer is correct, but you have to make sure to do that stuff after you have set the viewer's ReportSource. The version in my function below is a little more robust, and makes what's going on a little clearer, though I'm still not sure why doing that bit of magic to the TabControl's ItemSize and SizeMode make the tab bar go away.

// This is a method of a Form with one of these:
//     CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms.CrystalReportViewer
// This hides the tab control with the "Main Report" button.
public void hideTheTabControl()
{
    System.Diagnostics.Debug.Assert(
        crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource != null, 
        "you have to set the ReportSource first");

    foreach (Control c1 in crystalReportViewer1.Controls)
    {
        if (c1 is CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms.PageView)
        {
            PageView pv = (PageView)c1;
            foreach (Control c2 in pv.Controls)
            {
                if (c2 is TabControl)
                {
                    TabControl tc = (TabControl)c2;
                    tc.ItemSize = new Size(0, 1);
                    tc.SizeMode = TabSizeMode.Fixed;
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Answer 8

Thanks.

In VB it should seem like this:

    For Each c1 As Control In CrystalReportViewer1.Controls
        If c1.GetType Is GetType(CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms.PageView) Then
            Dim pv As CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms.PageView = c1
            For Each c2 As Control In pv.Controls
                If c2.GetType Is GetType(TabControl) Then
                    Dim tc As TabControl = c2
                    tc.ItemSize = New Size(0, 1)
                    tc.SizeMode = TabSizeMode.Fixed
                End If
            Next
        End If
    Next
