  hi,

  thx for the answer but the tabcontrol contain some controls if adding it back to the collection will not remove the controls so how can i remove it or add it again

  First you need to add a field to your class to remember the removed tab page:

  class YourForm : Form

  {

  ... some other code

  private TabPage savedTabPage;

  ...

  }

  then when you need to hide the TabPage, let's say in Load event:

  void YourForm_Load(...)

  {

  // you said you want to remove the second page, so

  savedTabPage = tabControl.TabPages[1];

  tabControl.TabPages.RemoveAt(1);

  ...

  }

  and when you want to show the tab page, let's say in someButton_Click event:

  void someButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

  {

  // let's check if we need to add the page

  if (savedTabPage != null)

  {

  tabControl.TabPages.Add(savedTabPage);

  // let's make sure we don't add the page a second time

  // withour removing it first

  saveTabPage = null;

  }

  }

  Still... maybe you should reconsider the interface a bit... adding a tab page when the user presses a button may confuse the user.

  You can remove the tabpage from the TabPages collection of the TabControl, keep a reference to it in your class and add it back to TabPages when you need it.
