Hide TabControl buttons to manage stacked Panel controls

by

You need a wee bit of Win32 API magic. The tab control sends the TCM_ADJUSTRECT message to allow the app to adjust the tab size. Add a new class to your project and paste the code shown below. Compile. Drop the new control from the top of the toolbox onto your form.

You’ll get the tabs at design time so you can easily switch between pages. The tabs are hidden at runtime, use the SelectedIndex or SelectedTab property to switch between “views”.

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;

class StackPanel : TabControl {
  protected override void WndProc(ref Message m) {
    // Hide tabs by trapping the TCM_ADJUSTRECT message
    if (m.Msg == 0x1328 && !DesignMode) m.Result = (IntPtr)1;
    else base.WndProc(ref m);
  }
}
