how to view only 1 tab PAGE when clicking a menu item in visual studio

Question

I have a tab control with 2 tab pages and a menu strip with 2 items. when I click item 1 in menuStrip, I want to view ONLY TAB PAGE 1.

I tried

Private Sub item1ToolStripMenuItem_Click(...)
    TabPage2.Select()        
    TabPage2.Show()
    TabPage2.Visible = True
    TabPage1.Visible = False
End Sub

What do you mean it is Visual Studio itself? Is this a macro? — Darrin Doherty, Feb 26 '13 at 14:52

If you are using TablControl, following is feasible. The fllowing post has alternative solutions as well.

TabControl1.TabPages.RemoveByKey("Selection")

i do not want to remove tab pages but view only 1 page as per the selected menu. Consider i have a menu tool with 2 items edit and order! and a tab control with 2 tab pages - edit and -order `that is, if i select **edit** in menu, i want to open the edit tab in tab pages or view only the "EDIT TAB" and if i select **order** in menu, open order tab in tab collection pages` **hope its not confusing** – kiaara Feb 27 '13 at 23:43
@kiaara, Either you have to go with "PageEnabled" property or you need to Add/Remove TabPages at run time – andy Feb 28 '13 at 12:57

There is no any visible property for TABPAGES........... Instead of it you can use PageEnabled = True/False. Or you can remove the tabpages from tab control and add back.

You can do like this

tabControl1.TabPages.Add(YourSpecificTabPage)
tabControl1.TabPages.Remove(YourSpecificTabPage)

Refer : 1. VB.Net Hide Tabpage 2. Programatically hide/remove tabpages in VB.NET
